Two balls of masses m_(1)=100 g and m_(2)=300 g are suspended from point A by two equal inextensible threads, each of length l=32/35m. Ball of mass m_(1) is drawn aside and held at the same level as A but at a distance (sqrt(3)/2)l from A, as shown in Fig. When ball m_(1) is released, it collides elastically with the stationary ball of mass m_(2). Velocity u_(1) with which the hall of mass m_(1) collides with the other ball is

`1m//s`
`2m//s`
`3m//s`
`4m//s`

Solution :Ball of MASS `m_(1)` falls freely till thread BECOMES taut. At that instant inclination `theta` of the thread with the vertical be given by
`sintheta=(((sqrt(3))/2l))/l=(sqrt(3))/2` or `theta=60^(@)`
Ball of mass `m_(1)` falls freely through height.

Velocity of this ball at this instant is `V=sqrt(2gxxl/2)=sqrt(gl)`
It can be resolved into two components.
i. `v cos theta`, along the thread. But thread is inextensible, hence this component decreases to zero (due to tension developed in the thread).
ii. `v sin theta`, perpendicular to the thread. Due to this component ball starts to move along a circle whose centre is at `A`.
According to law of conservation of energy,
Kinetic energy of ball `m_(1)` just before collision `=` Its kinetic energy at `AC +` Further loss of its potential energy
`1/2m_(1)u_(1)^(2)=1/2m_(1) (sqrt(gl)sintheta)^(2)+m_(1)G(l-lcostheta)`
`u_(1)=4m//s`
According to law of conservation of momentums
`m_(1)v_(1)+m_(2)v_(2)=m_(1)u_(1)+m_(2)u_(2)`
and coefficient of restitution `e=(v_(2)-v_(1))/(u_(2)-u_(1))=1`
substituting `u_(1)=4 m//s, u_(2)=, m_(1)=0.1 kg` and `m_(2)=0.3kg, v_(2)=2m//s,` the height to which it rises is
`h=v_(2)^(2)/(2g)=0.20m`
