Question

A projectile of mass 30 grammes travels horizontally at velocity V. It embeds itself 
in a stationary sand bag of mass 10 kg which is suspended on a rope. The centre of 
mass of the bag is 1.2 m below the point of suspension. After being struck, the bag 
swings freely through an arc of 30o
. By use of potential and kinetic energy as well as 
momentum theory determine the velocity V and kinetic energy lost in the impact
