A metre stick weighing 240 g is pivoted at its upper end in such a way that it can freely rotate in a vertical place through this end (see the following figure). A particle of mass 100 g is attached to the upper end of the stick through a light string of length 1 m. Initially, the rod is kept vertical and the string horizontal when the system is released from rest. The particle collides with the lower end of the stick and sticks there. Find the maximum angle through which the stick will rise.
