When s = 0, the spring on the firing mechanism is unstretched. If the arm is pulled back
Chapter 14, Problem 14-80(choose chapter or problem)
When s = 0, the spring on the firing mechanism is unstretched. If the arm is pulled back such that s = 100 mm and released, determine the speed of the 0.3-kg ball and the normal reaction of the circular track on the ball when \(\theta = 60^{\circ}\). Assume all surfaces of contact to be smooth. Neglect the mass of the spring and the size of the ball.

QUESTION:
When s = 0, the spring on the firing mechanism is unstretched. If the arm is pulled back such that s = 100 mm and released, determine the speed of the 0.3-kg ball and the normal reaction of the circular track on the ball when \(\theta = 60^{\circ}\). Assume all surfaces of contact to be smooth. Neglect the mass of the spring and the size of the ball.
ANSWER:
Step 1 of 3
First we will sketch the free body diagram of the ball.(fig.a)
