A horizontally flying bullet of mass m gets stuck in a body of mass M suspended by two identical threads of length l. As a result, the threads swerve through an angle θ. Assuming m << M, find:

a. the velocity of the bullet before striking the body;
b. the fraction of the bullet's initial kinetic energy that turned into heat.
