I need help with problem 12.116
Problem 12.115
A trebuchet releases a rock with mass m=50kg at the point O. The initial velocity of the
projectile is vec(v)0=(45hat()+30hat())ms. If one were to model the effects of air resistance via a
drag force directly proportional to the projectile's velocity, the resulting accelerations in
the x and y directions would be x=-(m)x and y=-g-(m)y, respectively, where
g is the acceleration of gravity and =0.64kgs is a viscous drag coefficient. Find an
expression for the trajectory of the projectile.

Problem 12.116!
Continue Prob. 12.115 and, for the case where =0.64kgs, determine the maximum
height from the ground reached by the projectile and the time it takes to achieve it.
Compare the result with what you would obtain in the absence of air resistance.
