Solved: A cannon is rigidly attached to a carriage, which
Chapter 6, Problem 6.102(choose chapter or problem)
A cannon is rigidly attached to a carriage, which can move along horizontal rails, but is connected to a post by a large spring, initially unstretched and with force constant k 2.00 104 N/m, as in Figure P6.67. The cannon res a 200-kg projectile at a velocity of 125 m/s directed 45.0 above the horizontal. (a) If the mass of the cannon and its carriage is 5 000 kg, fi nd the recoil speed of the cannon. (b) Determine the maximum extension of the spring. (c) Find the maximum force the spring exerts on the carriage. (d) Consider the system consisting of the cannon, the carriage, and the shell. Is the momentum of this system conserved during the fi ring? Why or why not?
