$A$ bob $B$ of mass $m$ at rest is hanging vertically from the ceiling via a massless string of length $10 \text{ m}$. $A$ point mass $A$ of mass $m$ travelling horizontally with speed $10 \text{ ms}^{-1}$ hits bob $B$ elastically. The bob $B$ rises $h$ meters after the collision. Taking the acceleration due to gravity $g = 10 \text{ ms}^{-2}$ and neglecting the size of the bob, the value of $h$ is:

  • A
    $8$
  • B
    $7$
  • C
    $5$
  • D
    $2.5$

$A$ ball is held in the position shown with a string of length $L = 1 \, m$ just taut and then projected horizontally with a velocity of $u = 3 \, m/s$. If the string becomes taut again when it is vertical,the angle $\theta$ is given by ........ $^o$.

$A$ dumbbell consisting of two masses $m$ each,connected by a light rigid rod of length $l$,falls from a height $h$ onto two pads of equal height,one steel and the other brass. The coefficients of restitution are $e_1$ and $e_2$ $(e_1 < e_2)$. To what maximum height will the centre of mass of the dumbbell rise after bouncing off the pads?
