Chapter 12 Problem 12-104

Question

The man at A wishes to throw two darts at the target at B so that they arrive at the same time. If each dart is thrown with a speed of 10 m>s, determine the angles uC and uD at which they should be thrown and the time between each throw. Note that the first dart must be thrown at uC (7 uD), then the second dart is thrown at uD.

Solution

Step 1 of 6)

The first step in solving 12 problem number 104 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: The man at A wishes to throw two darts at the target at B so that they arrive at the same time. If each dart is thrown with a speed of 10 m>s, determine the angles uC and uD at which they should be thrown and the time between each throw. Note that the first dart must be thrown at uC (7 uD), then the second dart is thrown at uD.
From the textbook chapter Kinematics of a Particle you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
