A tennis player strikes the tennis ball with her racket when the ball is at the uppermost point of its trajectory as shown. The horizontal velocity of the ball just before impact with the racket is v1 = 50 ft/sec, and just after impact its velocity is v2 = 70 ft/sec directed at the 15° angle as shown. If the 2-oz ball is in contact with the racket for 0.02 sec, determine the magnitude of the average force R exerted by the racket on the ball. Also determine the angle β made by R with the horizontal.
The collar has a mass of 2 kg and is attached to the light spring, which has a stiffness of 30 N∕m and an unstretched length of 1.5 m. The collar is released from rest at A and slides up the smooth rod under the action of the constant 50-N force. Calculate the velocity v of the collar as it passes position B. Use point A as datum (starting point).
