We are given a triangle $ABC$ and two circles ($k_1$ and $k_2$) so the diameter of $k_1$ is $AB$ and the diameter of $k_2$ is $AC$. Let the intersection of $BC$ line segment and $k_1$ (that isn’t $B$) be $P,$ and the intersection of $BC$ line segment and $k_2$ (that isn’t $B$) be $Q$. We know, that $AB = 3003$ and $AC = 4004$ and $BC = 5005$. What is the distance between $P$ and $Q$?
