Question
A war-wolf or trebuchet is a device used duringthe Middle Ages to throw rocks at castles and now sometimes used tofling large vegetables and pianos as a sport. A simple trebuchet isshown in the figure. Model it as a stiff rod of negligible mass,2.60 m long, joining particles of mass57.0 kg and 0.120 kg at its ends. It can turn on africtionless, horizontal axle perpendicular to the rod and15.0 cm from the large-mass particle.The rod is released from rest in a horizontal orientation. (a) Find the maximum speed that the0.120 kg object attains.(b) Select the statements that are true. While the smaller object isgaining speed, it moves with constant acceleration.
The smaller object does notmove with constant tangential acceleration. The trebuchet moves withconstant angular acceleration. The trebuchet maintains constantmomentum. The trebuchet-Earth system hasconstant mechanical energy. (a) Find the maximum speed that the0.120 kg object attains.
