Problem 10: While watching the clouds pass by, you notice a European swallow flying
horizontally at a height h = 21.9 m above you. When the swallow is directly overhead, it drops an m
= 10.7 kg coconut. From your ornithological studies, you know that the air-speed of this particular
species of swallow while carrying such a load is vo = 7.73 m/s. In this problem you may neglect air
friction. Refer to the diagram. Assume the origin of the coordinate system there is at your head.
