Chapter 2, Problem 2.20P
A gun fires a projectile of mass 10 kg of the type to which the curves of Figure 2-3 apply. The muzzle velocity is 140 m/s. Through what angle must the barrel be elevated to hit a target on the same horizontal plane as the gun and 1000 m away? Compare the results with those for the case of no retardation.

6. A projectile is fired at v, = 381.0 at an angle of 9 = 66.0° with respect to the horizontal.
Assume that air friction will shorten the range by 32.1%. How far will the projectile travel in
the horizontal direction, R?
Mass A is 40 kg and mass B is 10 kg. The angle that the inclined plane makes with the horizontal is 30 degrees. Using conservation of energy, find the velocities of bodies A and B when body A moves 3 meters down the inclined plane, ignoring friction and pulley masses, and when bodies A and B start to move from a standstill.
