Question
A golfer is attempting to reach the elevated green by hitting his ball under a low-hanging branch in one tree A, but over the top of a
second tree B. If the launch speed of the golf ball is vo= 106 mi/hr, what launch angle will put the first impact point of the ball closest
to the pin? How far from the pin (distance d) is this impact point?
