Q.

A simple pendulum of length 1 m has a wooden bob of mass 1 kg. It is struck by a bullet of mass 10-2 kg moving with a speed of 2×102 ms-1. The bullet gets embedded into the bob. The height to which the bob rises before swinging back is (use g=10 m/s2)         [2024]

1 0.30 m  
2 0.20 m  
3 0.35 m  
4 0.40 m
