Chapter 7, Problem 73GP
A Compound Bow A compound bow in archery allows the user to hold the bowstring at full draw with considerably less force than the maximum force exerted by the string. The draw force as a function of the string position x for a particular compound bow is shown in Figure 7-26.
(a) How much work does the archer do on the bow in order to draw the string from
x = 0
to
x = 0.60
m? (b) If all of this work becomes the kinetic energy of a 0 065-kg arrow, what is the speed of the arrow?
