Your nerf dart gun is able to shoot a suction cup dart at a speed of 5 m/s. Your room is 3 meters across. You want to shoot your
dart gun horizontally and hit the bulls-eye. How high above the bullseye would you need to aim for the dart to hit the spot you desire?

Refer to the diagram shown below.
For horizontal equilibrium,
T₃ cos38 = T₂ cos 50
0.788 T₃ = 0.6428 T₂
T₃ = 0.8157 T₂ (1)
For vertical equilibrium,
T₂ sin 50 + T₃ sin 38 = 430
0.766 T₂ + 0.6157 T₃ = 430
1.2441 T₂ + T₃ = 698.392 (2)
Substitute (1) into (2).
(1.2441 + 0.8157) T₂ = 698.392
T₂ = 339.058 N
T₃ = 0.8157(399.058) = 276.571 N
Answer:
T₂ = 339.06 N
T₃ = 276.57 N

Strength: able to detect planets in a wide range of orbits, as long as orbits aren't face on
Limitations: yield only planet's mass and orbital properties
