Two solid iron spheres of masses m and 2m respectively, are suspended from two inextensible ropes of length l. We separate the ball of mass m from its equilibrium position at an angle α, keeping the string extended in the same plane. The mass is released and collides elastically with the sphere of mass 2m. The speed of the sphere sphere of mass m immediately after the collision is:

Problem 2: A 10 grams bullet moving at 800 m/sec hits 1000 grams block of wood and stays inside the block. The block had been originally at rest and is free to move. Immediately after the collision the block-bullet system starts to move up a ramp that is incline at 30 degrees. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the ramp surface is 0.30. How far up the ramp will the block and bullet system move after the collision before coming to rest?
