Question:

The firing mechanism of a pinball machine consists of a plunger P having a mass Mand a spring stiffness k. When s = 0, the spring is compressed a distance δ. If the arm is pulled back such that s = s1 and released, determine the speed of the pinball B of mass Mb just before the plunger strikes the stop, i.e., assume all surfaces of contact to be smooth. The ball moves in the horizontal plane. Neglect friction, the mass of the spring, and the rolling motion of the ball.imageimageimage
