An elastic cord is stretched between 2 points A and B located 2y = 0.8 m apart in the horizontal plane. When stretched directly between A and B, the tension is P₂ = 40 N. The cord is then stretched as shown until its midpoint C has moved through x = 0.3 m to C', and a force of F = 240 N is required to hold the cord at C'. A pellet (m = 0.1 kg) is placed at C' and the cord is released. Find the speed of the pellet as it passes through C. F= 240 N C' y= 400 mm y= 400 mm x = B 13.61 300 mm
