Chapter 4, Problem 99P

In Fig. 4-54, a lump of wet putty moves in uniform circular motion as it rides at a radius of 20.0 cm on the rim of a wheel rotating counterclockwise with a period of 5.00 ms. The lump then happens to fly off the rim at the 5 o’clock position (as if on a clock face). It leaves the rim at a height of h = 1.20 m from the floor and at a distance d = 2.50 m from a wall. At what height on the wall does the lump hit?
