collision

Two equal spheres of mass m' are suspended by vertical strings so that they are in contact with their centres at same level. a third equal sphere of mass m falls vertically and strikes elastically the other 2 simultaneously so that their centres at the instant of impact form an equilateral triangle in a vertical plane. if u is the velocity of m just before impact, find the velocities just after impact and the impulse of tension of the strings.

final velocity of ball falling vertically down ...

5u/7 upward ...

impulse on string = 6mu/7 ...

velocity of the balls attached to string .. 2root(3)u/7 ......

and check answers calc. errors possible .....
