Chapter , Problem 106

(choose chapter or problem)

The spring in the muzzle of a childs spring gun has a spring constant of 700 N/m. To shoot a ball from the gun, first the spring is compressed and then the ball is placed on it. The guns trigger then releases the spring, which pushes the ball through the muzzle. The ball leaves the spring just as it leaves the outer end of the muzzle. When the gun is inclined upward by 30# to the horizontal, a 57 g ball is shot to a maximum height of 1.83 m above the guns muzzle. Assume air drag on the ball is negligible. (a) At what speed does the spring launch the ball? (b) Assuming that friction on the ball within the gun can be neglected, find the springs initial compression distance.
