$A$ bullet of $10\, \text{g}$, moving with velocity $v$, collides head-on with the stationary bob of a pendulum and recoils with velocity $100\, \text{m/s}$. The length of the pendulum is $0.5\, \text{m}$ and the mass of the bob is $1\, \text{kg}$. The minimum value of $v$ in $\text{m/s}$ so that the pendulum completes a vertical circle is: (Assume the string to be inextensible and $g=10\, \text{m/s}^2$)
