Two pendulums have the same length but different masses. If m1 is released from the position shown in the figure on the right, how high would the masses reach after the collision (a) assuming a perfectly inelastic collision, and (b) perfectly elastic collision. Use m1(green) = 100g, m2 (purple) = 150g, and angle = 40 degrees, Length 1 & 2 = 0.5 m.
