Chapter 8, Problem 28AP
Why is the following situation impossible? A softball pitcher has a strange technique: she begins with her hand at rest at the highest point she can reach and then quickly rotates her arm backward so that the ball moves through a half-circle path. She releases the ball when her hand reaches the bottom of the path. The pitcher maintains a component of force on the 0.180-kg ball of constant magnitude 12.0 N in the direction of motion around the complete path. As the ball arrives at the bottom of the path, it leaves her hand with a speed of 25.0 m/s.

A sledgehammer of mass m = 1.9 kg falls freely vertically downward from a height of h = 2.5 m at an initial speed of v = 6.5 m/s before striking a partially buried piling. After the blow the piling has moved d = 0.075 m deeper. How much force, in newtons, was applied to the piling? Assume all the energy goes towards driving the piling into the ground, and the force of the sledgehammer is constant over the distance d that the piling is driven into the ground. Note that you can ignore the change in potential energy of the piling itself. Further, because d is so small compared to h, you can also ignore the change in potential energy of the hammer as well as it moves distance d.
