A bullet of mass 144 g and a speed v passes completely
through a pendulum of mass 5.58 kg and length 63 cm. The bullet
emerges with a speed that has been reduced by a factor of 1/4. The
pendulum then travels in a complete and perfect circle.
(a) If the pendulum is suspended by a light, stiff rod, what is the
minimum speed of the bullet?
(b) If the pendulum is suspended by a string, what is the minimum
speed of the bullet?
