A ball of mass $m$ suspended from a rigid support by an inextensible massless string is released from a height $h$ above its lowest point. At its lowest point, it collides elastically with a block of mass $2 m$ at rest on a frictionless surface. Neglect the dimensions of the ball and the block. After the collision, the ball rises to a maximum height of

A bob of mass $m$, suspended by a string of length $I_1$, is given a minimum velocity required to complete a full circle in the vertical plane, At the highest point, it collides elastically with another bob of mass $m$ suspended by a string of length $I_2$, which is initially at rest. Both the strings are mass-less and inextensible. If the second bob, after collision acquires the minimum speed required to complete a full circle in the vertical plane, the ratio $\frac{I_1}{I_2}$ is :
