Work Power and Energy 4 Question 6
8. A bob of mass , suspended by a string of length , is given a minimum velocity required to complete a full circle in the vertical plane. At the highest point, it collides elastically with another bob of mass suspended by a string of length , which is initially at rest. Both the strings are massless and inextensible. If the second bob, after collision acquires the minimum speed required to complete a full circle in the vertical plane, the ratio is

Answer:
Correct Answer: 8. 5
Solution:
- Velocity of first bob at highest point.
(to just complete the vertical circle)
=velocity of second bob just after elastic collision.
