ASSIGNMENT - 2.
DYNAMICS FOR THE MANGONEL-WITH DRAG

The following tasks have been based on the lecture on projectile dynamics for the
Mangonel -With Drag.Complete the following individually, copying will be dealt
with severely.
Notes:
1. Ensure the curves are visible and sufficient resolution is provided so that the
height and distance is determinable. Keep scale of x-axis and y-axis roughly the
same, e.g. 10m on x-axis and y-axis should be forming a square. The following
chart is an example for 80 degrees at 30m/s.

NAME:____________________________________ Roll No:_______________ Group:_______________
Note:Compulsory
to Add Text box of
Name and Roll No
to every graph as
shown.

2. The excel graphs for Drag Vs No Drag


Velocity=20m/s, Angle=50 degrees have to be shown for evaluation on the same
day. While the print of this word document with graphs(with Name and Roll
No in text box) and hand written conclusions,name & roll number on every
page, stapled together, is to be submitted in next Tutorial class (if it is a holiday,
then as instructed).
3. Do not leave this assignment until the last minute to find you have some IT issue.

Enjoy the assignment and try to think around the subject as much as possible and
take from it any tips that you might use with your own Mangonel design.

Marking Scheme:
Tutorial 2 Total = 10 Marks
Evaluation at end of 2 Hours Tutorial 2: 5 Marks (Drag Vs No Drag. Velocity=30m/s,
Angle=80 degrees)
Evaluation of printout and hand written submission: 5 Marks

Assignment 1 (10Marks) + Assignment 2 (10 Marks) = 10 % weightage.

Q2. Read, from the figures determined in Q1 or directly from the results calculated
using your spreadsheets, the predicted max. horizontal distances travelled (in the
x-direction when y = 0 approx.) for the “drag” and “no-drag” cases. Complete the
following table with hand written values. Round your results to nearest integer
(no decimal places).

Q5. For a 30m/s launch velocity, taking the values rho=1.2 kg/m^3, Cd=0.4, mass=0.05kg,
D=0.045 m find the maximum horizontal distance of travel for launch angle varying from 20
to 70 degrees and record hand written values in table below. Plot the graph and use it to find the
angle of launch which would give maximum horizontal distance of travel.
