A box of mass M=1980 g, filled with sand, is suspended from a 1=1.5 m long rope. The length of the rope is much larger than the dimensions of the box. A bullet with mass m=20 g flying with a velocity of v=500 m/s in the horizontal direction hits the box and gets stuck. Find the maximum deviation angle of the rope from the vertical. Neglect the drag force of the air. Take g=10m/s^2.
