2) The ballistic pendulum is a simple device to measure projectile speed v by observing the maximum angle e to which the box of sand with embedded projectile swings. Calculate the angle 0 if the 1.5-oz projectile is fired horizontally into the suspended 35-lb box of sand with a speed of 1900 ft/sec. Also, find the percentage of energy lost during impact. 10
