Numerical method

 

We want to design a ball throwing robot arm that will throw a ball with
initial velocity Vo at an angle 0 to the ground plane. Assuming that the
robot arm is at coordinates r = 0 the ball will hit the ground at
V sin 20
where g = 9.8 is the gravitational constant.
We want to ensure that the ball hits the ground at rf = 0.1730861
meters. Unfortunately, we are not free to choose the necessary Vo and 0
since the robot design constrains the speed to be a function of the angle as
Vo = k(1+ cos 0)
where k = 0.75 is a design parameter.
a. Write down a single constraint in terms of 0 that ensures that the ball
hits the ground at the given value of xf.
b. Convert the solution of 0 into a root finding problem, then solve this
problem by searching for 0 in the interval [0°, 40°].
c. Calculate the necessary Vo for the 0 you have found.
Hint: Although the 0 range is given in degrees, perform the calculations in
radians. Note that 360° = 2n radians.
