magnetic force help ?

Homework Statement


Two charged particles move in the same direction with respect to the same magnetic field. Particle 1 travels eight times faster than particle 2. However, each particle experiences a magnetic force of the same magnitude. Find the ratio q1/q2 of the magnitudes of the charges.


Homework Equations


B=F/qVsin(theta)


The Attempt at a Solution


BqVsin(theta)=BqVsin(theta)
and then B and sin(theta) cancel but i don't know where to go from here??
 


[tex]F=BQVsin\theta[/tex]

For the first charge,Q1.

[tex]F=BQ_1V_1 sin\theta[/tex]

For the 2nd charge,Q2

[tex]F=BQ_2V_2 sin\theta[/tex]


what is the relation between V1 and V2?
 


okay cool thanks i got it.
