. When the sphere $$1$$ is released from horizontal position, then potential energy at height $$/$$ $$=$$ kinetic energy at bottomor $$mgl=12mv2$$ $$v=(2gl)Now$$, the velocity of sphere $$1$$ is transforred to sphere $$2$$ felastic $$collision)$$, then from $$2$$ to sphere $$3$$ and finally from sphere $$3$$ to sphere $$4$$ Therefore, the sphere $$4$$ attains "  velocity  (2gl)
