=3/2mg=32mg

Explanation:

Given

  • m->"Mass of each body" mMass of each body
  • l->" Length of inextensible string" l Length of inextensible string

  • v->" Horizontal velocity " = sqrt(2gl v Horizontal velocity =2gl

After inelastic collision the two body will be united to a mass 2m

Let

  • v_1 ->"Velocity of **united mass** after inelastic collision" v1Velocity of **united mass** after inelastic collision

Then by conservation of momentum

2mxxv_1=mxxv2m×v1=m×v

v_1=1/2vv1=12v

"Tension of string beore collision " T_b=(mv^2)/lTension of string beore collision Tb=mv2l

"Tension of string jus after the collision " T_a=(mv_1^2)/lTension of string jus after the collision Ta=mv21l

Increase in Tension

Delta T=T_a-T_b=m/l(v^2-v_1^2)=m/l(v^2-v^2/4)=m/l(3v^2)/4

:.Delta T=(3m)/(4l)xx(sqrt(2gl))^2=3/2mg
