From the end of a string (whose other end is firmly attached tothe ceiling) we attach a mass m1.Similarly, we attach a mass m2from the end of a different string. Both strings have equal lengthsand the masses are barely in contact when they are hanging freely.We pull out both masses so that they form angles θ1and θ2,respectively, with their equilibrium (vertical) positions. We thenrelease the masses such that there is an elastic, heads-oncollision when they reach their lowest point. If, after thiscollision, the masses return to their initial positions given bythose angles θ1and θ2, find the ratio of the two masses, m1/m2.
