The bob 
of simple pendulum is released, then the string makes an angle of 
with the vertical. It hits another bob 
of the same material and same mass kept at rest on the table. If the collision is elastic, then

As bob 
is of same material and same mass as that of bob 
, therefore on elastic collision, their velocities are exchanged.
By momentum conservation and 
, we have
Using Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get
Bob 
comes to rest and 
moves with the velocity of 
.
