As shown below, bob A of a pendulum having a massless string of length \( R \) is released from 60° to the vertical. It hits another bob B of half the mass that is at rest on a frictionless table in the center. Assuming elastic collision, the magnitude of the velocity of bob A after the collision will be (take \( g \) as acceleration due to gravity):
