Question

8.82 * CP Two identical masses Figure P8.82 are released from rest in a smooth hemispherical bowl of radius \( R \) from the positions shown in Fig. P8.82. Ignore friction between the masses and the surface of the bowl. If the masses stick together when they collide, how high above the bottom of the bowl will they go after colliding?

Step 1

Each mass is released from rest at the top of the hemispherical bowl, which has a radius \( R \). The potential energy of each mass at the top is \( mgh \), where \( h = R \). Show more…
