This isn't really a homework problem I am just trying to figure out how to do it..
I've attached a really badly drawn picture of the setup... But I'll type it out here too.
I have to use a steel ball as a pendulum. A razor blade is attached to a pole on the test so when the string swings past the blade, it cuts the string and the ball flies. There is a cup on the floor and somehow I have to get the ball to fly into the cup.
What equations do I use to figure out how to get it to land in there? I really have no idea =/
