$A$ wooden block of mass $M$ is suspended by a cord and is at rest. $A$ bullet of mass $m$,moving with a velocity $v$,passes through the block and emerges with a velocity $v/2$ in the same direction. If the block rises to a height $h$,calculate the value of $h$.

  • A
    $m^2v^2 / 2M^2g$
  • B
    $m^2v^2 / 8M^2g$
  • C
    $m^2v^2 / 4Mg$
  • D
    $m^2v^2 / 2Mg$
