No one can provide insight on this? I know it has been awhile but I still want to figure this out haha.

The cords are lined up to shoot forwards. Our launcher is probably 75cm wide. At most 1m wide. The bungee cords do not have much mass either.

From the equilibrium position, I can stretch the cord 1.2m MORE to the ground. So in reality x should equal 1.2m in my calculations. The cords are at a 45 degree angle to the horizontal. 2 bungee cords are one one side and 2 bungee cords are on the other. The k value was found by doing a...

For our physics class we have to make a tennis ball launcher and we are also responsible for doing calculations to predict the distance our launcher will be able to launch the tennis ball. I have done the calculations here and can be seen in this PDF file: http://imusion.net/backup/yahoo.pdf...
