5. ANS:
For forces to be “balanced,” they must act on the same object and be equal and opposite. The reaction to any
force does not act on the same object as the force; it acts in the opposite direction on the agent exerting the
original force. Thus, when considering the motion of one object, we look at the force, and when considering
the motion of the agent of this force, we look at the reaction.

(a) Consider first the vertical component of the ball’s motion.
When the ball strikes the ground,
The solutions of the equation are
The time taken to reach the ground is 8.0 s, since the negative solution has no meaning in this problem.
(b)
(c) The vertical component of the velocity is
The horizontal component of the velocity is 8.5 m/s. Therefore the resultant velocity is the vector sum of the
vertical and horizontal components as follows:
The velocity of impact is 64 m/s [82° below the horizontal].

This is the maximum value for the tension in the rod, pulling up.
At the top, where the two forces act downward,
Taking vertical components,
This is the minimum value for the tension in the rod, pulling down.
Alternate Solution:
At the bottom, the rod must support the ball’s weight as well as provide the centripetal force necessary to
make it move in a circle.
At the top, the ball’s weight provided part of the centripetal force; the rod provides the rest.
