The 2-lb ball at A is suspended by an inextensible cord
Chapter 13, Problem 13.201(choose chapter or problem)
The 2-lb ball at A is suspended by an inextensible cord and given an initial horizontal velocity of \(v_{0}\). If l = 2 ft, \(x_{B} = 0.3 \ ft\), and \(y_{B} = 0.4 \ ft\), determine the initial velocity \(v_{0}\) so that the ball will enter the basket. (Hint: Use a computer to solve the resulting set of equations.)
