Q17  The bob A of a pendulum released from 30o to the vertical hits another bob B of the same mass at rest
on a table as shown in Fig. 6.15. How high does the bob A rise after the collision? Neglect the size of
the bobs and assume the collision to be elastic.

This is an elastic collision thus the transfer of momentum will take place. It is given that bob B is at rest and bob A has some velocity. So in momentum transfer, bob B will gain the velocity in the left direction whereas bob A will come to rest (complete momentum transfer takes place).

Hence bob A will not rise.
