By conservation of energy, taking the GPE of pendulum to be 0 at the reference line, we have
Einitial

By conservation of energy, just before the string hits the peg, the KE of the sphere is:
1
mv 2 = mgL
2 b
If the sphere were to swing a complete circle centered on the peg, radius, R = L d, then the change
in GPE is:
GP E = mg 2 (L d)
Since the sphere is making a vertical circular motion about the peg, at the top of the sphere, from
the FBD, we have:
T + mg =

The collision happens at the bottom of the bowl when the 2 masses reach there. At the bottom of
the bowl, there is no external forces acting along the direction of motion of the particles, hence we
can apply conservation of linear momentum. Before that, we need to nd the speeds of the particle.
By conservation of energy, mgh = 21 mv 2 , we obtain
v=
p
2gh
The speeds of the particles are the same at the bottom of the bowl. Since they are moving at right
angles to each other just before the collision, the sketch for the situation is:
Based on the coordinates system, the total momentum of the system before the collision is:
p i = m1
u 1 + m2
u 2 = 2v i 6v j
By conservation of linear momentum, the total momentum of the system after the collision is:
p f = 2v i 6v j
Since the collision is completely inelastic, the masses will move up the bowl as one mass, M =

Since the lighter fragment moves horizontally forward after explosion, we have v1 = 51.5ms1
With that, we can nd v2 = 13.7ms1 from Eq. (1).
