Question
A firefighting crew uses a water cannon that shoots water
at 27.0 m/s at a fixed angle of 50.0° above the horizontal.
The firefighters want to direct the water at a blaze that is
10.0 m above ground level.
How far from the building should they position their
cannon? There are two possibilities (d₁ <d₂); can you
get them both? (Hint: Start with a sketch showing the
trajectory of the water.)
