Each of the two elastic rubber bands of the slingshot has an unstretched length of 200 mm. If they are pulled back to the position shown and released from rest, determine the speed of the 32-g pellet just after the rubber bands become unstretched. Neglect the mass of the rubber bands. Each rubber band has a stiffness of k = 55 N/m.
