As shown below, bob A of a pendulum having massless string of length ' R ' is released from
to the vertical. It hits another bob B of half the mass that is at rest on a friction less table in the centre. Assuming elastic collision, the magnitude of the velocity of bob A after the collision will be (take
as acceleration due to gravity)
