Chapter 2, Problem 2.9P
Consider a projectile fired vertically in a constant gravitauonal field. For the same initial velocities, compare the times required the projectile to reach its maximum height (a) for zero resisting force, (b) for a resisting force proportional to the instantaneous velocity of the projectile.

A nucleus that captures a stray neutron must bring the neutron to a stop within the diameter of the nucleus by means of the strong
force. That force, which "glues" the nucleus together, is approximately zero outside the nucleus. Suppose that a stray neutron with an
initial speed of 1.1 × 10' m/s is just barely captured by a nucleus with diameter d = 1.5 × 1014 m. Assuming that the strong force on the
neutron is constant, find the magnitude of that force. The neutron's mass is 1.67 x 1027 kg.

A force F whose line of action coincides with the line joining points A and B has a y-component of 136.75N. If point A is at (-3,+1,+3) and point B is at (+3,+7,-3), find the value of force F.
Determine the magnitude of the y-component of force Q (N) if P=108.8 N, Q = 72.5 N , θ= 42.25° and α = 43.45°. Round off only on the final answer expressed in 3 decimal places. Instead of units, indicate the direction of the y-component.
