A cannon ball was projected at an angle of 30deg with the horizontal with an initial velocity of 120m/s. 500m away there is a hill inclined at a certain angle with respect to the horizontal. 7 seconds after the cannon ball was released it hits the surface of the hill. Determine the distance from the bottom of the hill where the canon ball was landed and the inclination of the hill.
