Mechanical Engineering

A batter hits the baseball A with an initial velocityof v0 = 97 ft/sec directly toward fielderB at an angle of 40° to the horizontal; the initialposition of the ball is 2.0 ft above ground level. FielderB requires 0.23 sec to judge where the ball should becaught and begins moving to that position with constant speed.Because of great experience, fielder B chooses his runningspeed so that he arrives at the “catch position” simultaneouslywith the baseball. Fielder B starts 234 ft from the batter. Thecatch position is the field location at which the ball altitude is6.3 ft. Determine the velocity of the ball relative to the fielderat the instant the catch is made. Assume that the time needed forthe fielder to achieve his velocity from the start point isnegligibly small. Please state answer for time at catch postion aswell
