As shown below, bob $A$ of a pendulum having a massless string of length $R$ is released from $60^{\circ}$ to the vertical. It hits another bob $B$ of half the mass that is at rest on a frictionless table in the center. Assuming an elastic collision, the magnitude of the velocity of bob $A$ after the collision will be (take $g$ as acceleration due to gravity):
