using energy conservation!
2mgR(1+cos@) = mv2+mu2+Mu2
using momentum conservation along horizontal direction,
m(vcos@-u)+M(-u)=0
using the above two we get the relation for u!

what u took as v is my v+u
so tangential velocity in ur case is v-u
the |vx|=|v-u|cos@ - u

subhomoy, check again
c.o.e eqn will be
2mgR(1+cos@) = mv2+mu2-2mu2cosQ+Mu2
