Consider the collision depicted in Figure, to be between two billiard balls with equal masses `m_(1)=m_(2)`. The first ball is called the cue and the second ball is called the target. The billiard player wants to sink the target ball in a corner pocket, which is at an angle` theta_(2)=phi=37^(@).` Assume that the collision is elastic and that friction and rotational motion are not important. Obtain theta_(1)`

A man is standing on top of a building 100 m high. He throws two balls vertically, one at t = 0 and other after a time interval (less than 2 s). The later ball is thrown at a velocity of half the first. The vertical gap between first and second ball is 15 m at t = 2 s. The gap is found to remain constant. The velocities with which the balls were thrown.
