A bullet of mass m is traveling at an unknown velocity in the right direction. It is fired at a wooden block of mass M that is hanging from a string from the ceiling. The bullet strikes (collides) and embeds itself into the block a distance d. Afterwards, the block raises to a height H. If the coefficient of resistive force between the bullet and wood is μ, calculate the normal force (FN) on the bullet from the wood (for this problem you can assume resistive force = μXFN). [Your final answer should be in terms of m, M, u, d, H and g]

A bullet of mass m is traveling at an unknown velocity in the right direction. It is fired at a wooden block of mass M
that is hanging from a string from the ceiling. The bullet strikes (collides) and embeds itself into the block a distance d.
Afterwards, the block raises to a height H. If the coefficient of resistive force between the bullet and wood is μ,
calculate the normal force (FN) on the bullet from the wood (for this problem you can assume resistive force = μXFN).
