Q1. (problem 2/71 from book) A team of engineering students is designing a catapult to launch a small ball from point A so that it lands in the box B, as shown in figure below. If it is known that the initial velocity vector makes a 30 degree angle with the horizontal, determine the range of launch speed v0 for which the ball will land inside the box. (Hint: these are the speeds that result in hitting the top left and top right corners of the box.) 300 200 mm mm 30° Вох В 600 to mm 3.5 m
