Question: Answered & Verified by Expert
A ball of mass $\mathrm{m}$ suspended from a rigid support by an inextensible massless string is released from a height $\mathrm{h}$ above its lowest point. At its lowest point it collides elastically with a block of mass $2 \mathrm{~m}$ at rest on a frictionless surface. Neglect the dimensions of the ball and the block. After the collision the ball rises to a maximum height of $-$
