Two beads A and B of masses m, and m, respectively are threaded on a smooth circular wire of radius .a. fixed in a vertical plane. B is stationary at the lowest point when A is gently dislodged from rest at the highest point. A collided with B at the lowest point. The impulse given to B due to collision is just great enough to carry it to the level of the centre of the circle while A is immediately brought to rest by the impact. a) Find the ratio b) What is the coefficient of restitution between the beads?

1.	Two beads A and B of masses m, and m, respectively are threaded on a smooth circular wire of radius .a. fixed in a vertical plane. B is stationary at the lowest point when A is gently dislodged from rest at the highest point. A collided with B at the lowest point. The impulse given to B due to collision is just great enough to carry it to the level of the centre of the circle while A is immediately brought to rest by the impact. a) Find the ratio b) What is the coefficient of restitution between the beads?
