Two masses m₁ = 1 kg and m2 = 2 kg, are attached to two length ropes L. The rope are hung at the same point to the ceiling. The mass m2 is in the equilibrium position while the mass m₁ is moved at an angle 8 to the vertical and then left free. The mas m₁ hits the mass m2 and remains attached to it; the two masses therefore describe small oscillations of period T = 4.92 s, with angular amplitude a = 12 th. Calculate the initial angle 8 and the energy lost in the impact.
