A tennis ball (treated as hollow spherical shell) starting from O rolls down a hill. At point A the ball becomes air borne leaving at an angle of with the horizontal. The ball strikes the ground at B . what is the value of the distance AB ?
(Moment of interia of a spherical shell of mass m and radius R about its diameter = )
Velocity of the tennis ball on the surface of the earth or ground
(where k = radius of gyration of spherical shell = )
Horizontal range AB =
= 2.08 m
