There is a pendulum on a very long, light, string. The bob is made entirely of play-do and weighs  19.90 kg. It sits motionless directly below its point of support. A 100 g bullet is fired at the bob and  strikes it with a velocity of 200 m/s. Although the bob is badly deformed, it remains one piece with the  bullet embedded deep within it. The bob/bullet swing attaining a maximum height of h. Calculate h.
