FOOTNOTE:
[1] The velocity of the projectile is found thus. Let V be the
velocity of the bob, due to the impact of the projectile, _v_ the
velocity of the projectile, _h_ the height through which the bob is
raised vertically, then
V squared ___
h = --, and V = \/2gh.

If W be the weight of the bob, and _w_ the weight of the projectile,
then
/ W \ ___
wv = (W + w)V, and v = ( --- + 1 ) \/2gh.
\ w /
If _l_ be the true length of suspension, and C the length of the
chord of the arc of displacement of the bob after being struck, then
___
/ W \ / g
C squared = 2hl, and v = ( --- + 1 ) / --- . C.
\ w / \/ l
Also if T be the time of a complete small oscillation of the
pendulum,
___

----- = / ---,
T \/ l
/ W \ 2[pi]C
