Question 8

Circles $\mathcal{C}_1$ and $\mathcal{C}_2$ are externally tangent, and they are both internally tangent to circle $\mathcal{C}_3.$ The radii of $\mathcal{C}_1$ and $\mathcal{C}_2$ are $4$ and $10,$ respectively, and the centers of the three circles are all collinear. A chord of $\mathcal{C}_3$ is also a common external tangent of $\mathcal{C}_1$ and $\mathcal{C}_2.$ Given that the length of the chord is $\frac{m\sqrt{n}}{p},$ where $m,$ $n,$ and $p$ are positive integers, $m$ and $p$ are relatively prime, and $n$ is not divisible by the square of any prime, find $m + n + p.$
