The Unit Circle and Circular Functions · Challenge problem

Two bugs start together at (1,0)(1, 0) and crawl counterclockwise around the unit circle: at time tt the first is at P(t)P(t) and the second at P(3t)P(3t). During the time interval 0≤t<2π0 \le t < 2\pi, for how much total time are the bugs more than 3\sqrt3 units apart?
