A small metal ball with a mass of m = 97.6 g is attached to a string of length l = 1.43 m. It is held at an angle of θ = 42.1° with respect to the vertical. The ball is then released. When the rope is vertical, the ball collides head-on and perfectly elastically with an identical ball originally at rest. This second ball flies off with a horizontal initial velocity from a height of h = 3.26 m, and then later it hits the ground.

At what distance x will the ball land?

An 60 kg plank, 15 m long, has supports at locations X1=4 m and X2=12 m along the plank. Two additional forces F3=20 N and F4=25 N act at the points X3=2 m and X4=10 m along the plank, making angles of 30 degrees and 60 degrees with respect to the vertical.

a) from x-equilibrium, determine the value of F4,

b) from rotational equilibrium, determine the support forces N1 and N2 acting at the location of the two supports, taking into account the mass of the plank itself,

c) show that your answers are correct by demonstrating that they satisfy equilibrium in y-.(i.e., that the sum of the forces in the y-direction are zero, since the plank is stationary).
