Since bullet is moving with some velocity...so it has KE=1/2mv^2
And it displace bigger block . .thr throan angle of 30Β° …
Draw fugfig...
U will fing that.....PE of block is... changed...i.e Mgh...
(With hight  L(1-cosΒ©) )
So equate...KE And PE...
i.e 1/2mv^2=MgL(1-cosΒ©)......(.1)
U will get the answer
Hope you understand 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
