Question punching bag

hi all,

anybody has any idea how to hang a punching bag?
i have the hand ready to hit the bag.
how can i model the bag swinging like a pendulum?
how can i actually hit the bag with my hand?
does lightwave have any interaction module where the hand can be controlled by mouse?

seeking prompt consideration

Default Dynamics

What version of light wave do you have? 7.5, 8.2.1?
in light wave 8 you select your hand OBJ. Hit the "P" key that should bring up your properties panel select the dynamic tab
then select the add dynamics chose colision then change your type to OBJ. Now for your punching bag you are going to have to give it to part names. Name the top "Fix" and name the part you want to have react to your hand OBJ Target. then just hit calculate. it should work.
