A bullet of mass m and speed v passes completely through a pendulum bob of mass M as shown in Figure P6.56. The bullet emerges with a speed of v/2. The pendulum bob is suspended by a stiff rod of length l and negligible mass. What is the minimum value of v such that the bob will barely swing through a complete vertical circle?FIGURE P6.56
