Tom, thanks for posting this- maybe it will get more college students involved in throwing the hammer! (I noticed 3 spelling errors, so that doesn't speak well for the typing/grammar of the instructor or person posting the problem on the internet). There was also a reference to the wire as a "cord", and it mentioned the release of the hammer 1 meter above the ground- that maybe is simply to present the exercise to the student, but the real release point is way above 1 meter above the ground, more like 3 meters..... |

The release point should be at shoulder height, then the tangential speed is highest... |

I only noticed the cord reference-too much spellchecker-I hope the math was correct-what I found most interesting was the amount of pull a great hammerthrower has to handle at the release point- |
