A simple pendulum consisting of a ball of mass m tied to a thread of length l is made to swing on a circular arc of angle 
in a vertical plane. At the end of this arc, another ball of mass m is placed at rest. The momentum transferred to this ball at rest by the swinging ball is
A
Zero
B
C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
