Question
In the arrangement shown, the pendulum on the left is pulled aside. It is then released and allowed to collide with other pendulum which is at rest. A perfectly inelastic collision occurs and the system rises to a height h/4 . The ratio of the masses (m1 / m2) of the pendulum is :
Options
A.1
B.2
C.3
D.4
Solution
m1
+ 0 = (m1 + m2)vv =
∴ v2 − u2 + 2g ×
= 6 + 2g × 
= 
∴ v =
Also,
= 
⇒ 2m1 + m1 + m2∴
