EXAMPLE # 1
Ball bearings leave the horizontal trough with a velocity of magnitude u and
fall through the 70-mm-diameter holes as shown. Calculate the permissible
range of u which will enable the balls to enter the hole. Take the dotted
positions to represent the limiting conditions.
Note the origin of the coordinate system is
attached to the point leaving the trough with
y-direction positive downwards.

To fall through the hole, the centre of the ball bearing must be
within the range of points C and D with the limited trajectories
between BC and BD.

EXAMPLE # 3
A child twirls a small 50-g ball attached to the end of a 1-m string so that the ball
traces a circle in a vertical plane as shown. What is the minimum speed v that
the ball must have when in position 1? If this speed is maintained throughout
the circle, calculate the tension T in the string when the ball is in position 2.
Neglect any small motion of the childs hand.

Exercise
A 2 kg box slides on a smooth ramp from A to B and
subsequently undergoes a projectile motion until it strikes the
ground at C as shown. The speed of the box at A is vA = 2 m/s.
a. Determine the velocity of the box at B using energy method.
b. Determine the horizontal distance from B to C.
