Chapter 2, Problem 2.9P
Consider a projectile fired vertically in a constant gravitauonal field. For the same initial velocities, compare the times required the projectile to reach its maximum height (a) for zero resisting force, (b) for a resisting force proportional to the instantaneous velocity of the projectile.

A projectile of mass [m] is launched with initial velocity [v0] at angle [theta] from the +x direction. From the origin, the projectile is connected toa massless spring with force constant k, as shown.
From the equations of motion, one can show that the horizontal and vertical positions of the mass as functions of time can be written asx(t) = A cos wt + B sin wty(t) = C cos wt + D sin wt + Eprovided that the coefficients satisfy the conditions that initially, x(0) = y(0) = 0,vx (t = 0) = v0 cos [theta], and
vy (t = 0) = v0 sin [theta].
Determine the coefficients A,B,C,D, and E in termsof the given variables.
A test projectile was fired horizontally at v0 velocity into a viscous liquid. Since the decelerating force is directly proportional to the square of the velocity, the value of the acceleration is a = - kv2 Here k is a constant. Derive a relation for each of the distance D traveled in the liquid until the intensity of the velocity drops to v0 / 2, and the time t in the meantime. Ignore any vertical movement.
Consider a pair of forces, one having a magnitude of 20N and the other magnitude of 12N .What maximum net force is possible for these two forces? What is the minimum net force possible?
