A block of mass m starts from rest and slides down a frictionless semi–circular track from a height h as shown. When it reaches the lowest point of the track, it collides with a stationary piece of putty also having mass m. If the block and the putty stick together and continue to slide, the maximum height that the block-putty system could reach is:

On a smooth horizontal plane, a uniform string of mass M and length is lying in the state of rest. A man of the same mass M is standing next to one end of the string. Now, the man starts collecting the string. Finally the man collects all the string and puts it in his pocket. What is the displacement of the man with respect to earth in the process of collection?
