Chapter 4, Problem 81EAP
In one contest at the country fair, seen in FIGURE CP4.81, a spring-loaded plunger launches a ball at a speed of 3.0 m/s from one corner of a smooth, flat boar that is titled up at a 20° angle. To win, you must make ball hit a small target at the adjacent corner, 2.50 m away. AT what angle ( should you tilt the ball launcher?
