just after second collision , let velocity of bob is v1 & tension in string is T ...
after collision this system becomes conical pendulam so verticle component of tension is balanced by weight &
centripital force is provided by horizontal component of tension ...
let string makes an angle of @ with verticle then
Tcos@ = weight = 2mg ............1 (weight of bob + particle)
Tsin@ = 2mv12 /r .............2 (r is radius of its path)
r = Lsin@ .........3
from 1,2 & 3
v12 = {gLsin@tan@} ..................4
time period of this system = T = 2pir/v1
= 2pi(Lsin@)/{gLsin@tan@}1/2 ........................5
now , @ can be calculated by using trignometry ... height of this cone = L - L/4 = 3L/4
slant height = L
cos@ = 3/4
so , time perion will be T = 2pi(3L/4g)1/2
