1.162. A horizontally flying bullet of mass m gets stuck in a body of mass M suspended by two identical threads of length 1 (Fig. 1.42). As a result, the threads swerve through an angle 0. Assuming m < M, find: (a) the velocity of the bullet before striking the body; (b) the fraction of the bullet's initial kinetic energy that turned into heat. 12 M Fig. 1.42. 2
