Question
For the parts of the Trebuchet shown, develop expressions for the position, velocity,
and acceleration, x, x', and x'' of the payload as a function of the arm angle ? and its
derivatives ?', ?''. Use the vector tools in Mathematica to help develop the
expressions needed. Note that a closed kinematic loop is present during this phase of
the motion if the rope remains taut. By either using max/min calculus tools or plots of
your own design, find a set of parameters L, R, and H that will provide the maximum
velocity x' at the point the payload lifts off the ground. Scale your parameters to be
about the size of the red and black trebuchet from class. Provide plots showing the
position, velocity and acceleration of the payload as a function of the arm angle ?.
Assume the arm angle increases as a quadratic function of time.

please repost the question as there are some ? which i dont understand in post
