Projectile Motion: A child is trying to throw a ball over a fence. She gives the ball an initial speed of 8.0 m/s at an angle of 40° above the horizontal. The ball leaves her hand 1.0 m above the ground and the fence is 2.0 m high. The ball just clears the fence while still traveling upwards and experiences no significant air resistance. How far is the child from the fence?
A. 0.73 m
B. 1.6 m
C. 2.7 m
D. 3.8 m

A rectangular plate in plane stress is subjected to normal stresses ?x and ?y and shear stress txy. Stress ?x is known to be 15 MPa, but ?y and txy are unknown. However, the normal stress is known to be 33 MPa at counterclockwise angles of 358 and 758 from the x axis. Based on this, the normal stress ?y on the element in the figure is approximately:
(A) 14 MPa
(B) 21 MPa
(C) 26 MPa
(D) 43 MPa
