Chapter 14.1, Problem 14.18P
An 18-kg cannonball and a 12-kg cannonball are chained together and fired horizontally with a velocity of 165 m/s from the top of a 15-m wall. The chain breaks during the flight of the cannonballs and the 12-kg cannonball strikes the ground at t = 1.5 s, at a distance of 240 m from the foot of the wall, and 7 m to the right of the line of fire. Determine the position of the other cannonball at that instant. Neglect the resistance of the air.

A 2-kg model rocket is launched vertically and reaches an altitude of 70 m with a speed of 30 m/s at the end of powered flight, time t= 0. As the rocket approaches its maximum altitude it explodes into two parts of masses mA = 0.7 kg and mB = 1.3 kg. Part A is observed to strike the ground 80 m west of the launch point at t = 6 s. Determine the position of part B at that time.
A 2-kg collar is attached to a spring and slides without friction in a vertical plane along the curved rod ABC . The spring is undeformed when the collar is at C and its constant is 600 N/m. If the collar is released at A with no initial velocity, determine its velocity (a) as it passes through B, (a) as it reaches C.
A 5-kg model rocket is launched vertically and reaches an altitude of 100 m with a speed of 40 m/s at the end of powered flight, time t=5 s. As the rocket approaches its maximum altitude it explodes into two parts of masses mA=1.7 kg and mB=3.3kg. Part A is observed to strike the ground 50 m west of the launch point at t=6 s.
