Expert Solution
Step 1

To find-:

The final distance of ball from the hole.

Given-:

The weight of the ball is W=5 lb.

The initial radius of rotation of ball is r1=4.61 ft.

The initial speed of the ball is (VB)1=4.9 fts.

The speed of the chord with which it is being pulled is Vr=2.1 fts.

The final speed of the ball is VB=15 fts.

FBD-:

                      Mechanical Engineering homework question answer, step 1, image 1

Calculations-:

At given final position, the net velocity of the ball is the resultant of final tangential velocity of ball (VB)2 and velocity of cord Vr i.e-:

   VB=(VB)2 +  Vr

(VB)2={(VB)2}2+(Vr)2                                      (1)                                      

Substitute the value of VB=15 fts and Vr=2.1 fts in equation (1).

(15)2={(VB)2}2+(2.1)2{(VB)2}2=225-4.41(VB)2=14.85 fts

Since, there is no external torque, hence angular momentum will remains conserved. So, initial angular momentum is equal to final angular momentum.

m(VB)1r1=m(VB)2r2

Here, m is the mass of the ball and r2 is the final distance of ball from the hole.

(VB)1r1=(VB)2r2                                  (2)

Substitute the value of (VB)1=4.9 fts, r1=4.61 ft and (VB)2=14.85 fts in equation (2).

4.9×4.61=14.85×r2r2=1.52 ft

Thus, the final distance of ball from the hole is r2=1.52 ft.
