A ball of mass m suspended from a rigid support by an inextensible massless string is released from a height h above its lowest point. At its lowest point it collides elastically with a block of mass 2m at rest on a frictionless surface. Neglect the dimensions of the ball and the block. After the collision the ball rises to a maximum height of–
