The centripetal force is balanced by a component of its wieght (mgsin(θ))
mv2/r=mgsin(θ)
r=5.27/2 =2.635 ft
g= 32 ft/s2
solving for v
v= sqrt(rgsin(θ))
v=sqrt(2.635*32*sin(4.83))
v=2.664 ft/s
This is the vertical component of velocity
To find straight line velocity, V
V*sin(θ)=2.664
V=31.639 ft/s
V= 21.565 mph
The impact would likely cause serious injury
horizontal distance,R=u*sqrt(2*h/g)
R=31.639*sqrt(2*4.85/32)
R=17.419 ft

A.An old Biblical story tells of David, a small warrior engaged in man-to-man combat with Goliath, a much larger adversary. In the story, David uses a sling to increase the speed of a projectile (in this case a rock), striking Goliath in the forehead and killing him. The type of sling often used in such combat consists of a long strip of cloth with a pouch halfway down its length. The rock is positioned in the pouch, with the warrior...
