Homework Statement


I'm having difficulty on this problem:

"Two circles A, B ad a vector k are given. Determine points P on A and Q on B so that PQ is equal and parallel to k.
ii) describe the situation where this is impossible"

any body out there a master on circles, greatly appreciated!

Well it seems a lot of information such as the radii of the circles, relative position of the centre of the circles, as well as the vector k are not given.
