    A pendulum consists of a uniform rod \(A B\) of length \(4 a\) and mass \(4 m\) and a spherical shell of radius \(a\), mass \(m\) and centre \(C\). The end \(B\) of the rod is rigidly attached to a point on the surface of the shell in such a way that \(A B C\) is a straight line. The pendulum is initially at rest with \(B\) vertically below \(A\) and it is free to rotate in a vertical plane about a smooth fixed horizontal axis passing through \(A\) (see diagram).

A particle of mass \(m\) is moving horizontally in the plane in which the pendulum is free to rotate. The particle has speed \(\sqrt { k g a }\), where \(k\) is a positive constant, and strikes the rod at a distance \(3 a\) from \(A\). In the subsequent motion the particle adheres to the rod and the combined rigid body \(P\) starts to rotate.
