A catapult is placed 100 feet from the castle wall, which is 35 feet high. The soldier wants the burning bale of hay to clear the top of the wall and land 50 feet inside a castle wall. If the initial velocity of the bale is 70 feet/second, at what angle should the bale of hay be launched so that it travels 150 feet and pass over the castle wall. Use g=32 ft/s².

A 10,000-lb airplane is launched from a catapult. The spring of the catapult (ks = 150 lb/in) is initially compressed 10 ft and then released. During the launching, the airplane engine exerts a constant horizontal force of 2,000 lbs. Assuming the friction to be negligible, determine the takeoff speed of the airplane at the instant when the spring reaches its undeformed position.
