Question

A ball of mass 20 kg is suspended from a massless string of length 5 m as shown in figure. A bullet of mass 5 kg moving with velocity v0 m/s collides with the ball and sticks to it. Find the minimum value of v0 so that the combined mass completes the vertical circular motion. [Take g=10 m/s2]

Solution

The correct option is C 79 m/s
Given, mass of ball (M)=20 kg
Mass of bullet (m)=5 kg
Initial velocity of bullet =v0

For completing the vertical circular motion, velocity at the bottommost point , u5gl

From PCLM,
mv0=(M+m)u where u is the common velocity of ball + bullet after collsion.
u=mv0M+m

mv0M+m5gl
v0M+mm×5gl
(v0)min=M+mm×5gl
=2555×10×5=79 m/s
