I had this problem on a quiz today and I got 4.05m. I'm not sure if this is right though, can anyone verify this?
A 3kg ball is situated on a bent frictionless wire at A as shown below (I hope this shows up) and a 1 kg ball is situated at B. After the two balls collide, how far does ball B rise up the other side of the wire? The height of A is 1.8m.
