Here is the original question:

Giambattista College Physics 5th ed.
Chapter 7 Linear Momentum Problem 99

The pendulum bobs in the figure are made of soft clay so that they stick together after impact. The mass of bob A is half that of bob B. Bob B is initially at rest. If bob A is released from a height h above its lowest point, what is the maximum height attained by both bobs A and B after the collision?

Here is my algebraic solution:

In this video, I again solve the problem by modeling the situation with a numerical calculation in python. To handle the strings in the pendulum motion, I replace the strings with springs. For the inelastic collision I use springs and a drag force.

Here is the python code.
