A ball having mass m is connected by a strong string of length L to a pivot point and held in place in a vertical position. A wind exerting constant force of magnitude F is blowing from left to right as in Figure P8.69a. (a) If the ball is released from rest, show that the maximum height H reached by the ball, as measured from its initial height, is H = 2L/1 + (mg/F)2 Check that the above result is valid both for cases when 0
