A circus wishes to develop a new clown act. Fig. (1) shows a diagram of the proposed setup. A clown will be shot out of a cannot with velocity v_(0) at a trajectory that makes an angle theta=45^(@) with the ground. At this angile, the clown will travell a maximum horizontal distance. The cannot will accelerate the clown by applying a constant force of 10, 000N over a very short time of 0.24s . The height above the ground at which the clown begins his trajectory is 10m . A large hoop is to be suspended from the celling by a massless cable at just the right place so that the clown will be able to dive through it when he reaches a maximum height above the ground. After passing through the hoop he will then continue on his trajectory until arriving at the safety net. Fig (2) shows a graph of the vertical component of the clown's velocity as a function of time between the cannon and the hoop. Since the velocity depends on the mass of the particular clown performing the act, the graph shows data for serveral different masses. From figure 2, approximately how much time will it take for clown with a mass of 60 kg to reach the safety net located 10 m below the height of the cannot?

With reference to the given figure, a man stands on the ground at point A, Which is on the same horizontal plane as B, the foot of the vertical pole BC. The height of the pole is 10 m . The man's eye is 2 m above the ground. He observes the angle of elevation of C, the top of the pole, as x^(@) , where tan x^(@) = (2)/(5) . Calculate : angle of elevation of the top of the pole when he is standing 15 metres from the pole. Give your answer to the nearest degree.

Two towers AB and CD are situated a distance d apart as shown in figure. AB is 20 m high and CD is 30 m high from the ground. An object of mass m is thrown from the top of AB horizontally with a velocity of 10 m/s towards CD. Simultaneously another object of mass 2 m is thrown from the top of CD at an angle 60^@ below the horizontal towards AB with the same magnitude of initial velocity as that of the first object. The two objects move in the same vertical plane, collide in mid-air and stick to each other. Calculate the distance d between the towers.
