Thank you for your help with understanding the concepts of working this type of practice problem out. 

**Problem Statement: Two People Walking Around a Circular Lake**

Two people start at the same place and walk around a circular lake in opposite directions. One has an angular speed of \(2.37 \times 10^{-3}\) rad/s, while the other has an angular speed of \(4.44 \times 10^{-3}\) rad/s. How long will it be before they meet?

**Diagram Explanation:**

A diagram illustrates the circular lake with two people starting at the same point marked "Start." They walk around the lake in opposite directions.

- \(\theta_1\) and \(\theta_2\) denote their angular positions along the circular path.
  
The path around the lake is shown with an arrow indicating their walking directions, meeting eventually at the marked point "End."

**Calculation Input:**

A section is provided to input the calculated time before they meet:

- **Number:** [Input box]
- **Units:** [Dropdown list for selecting units]
