A rescue pilot has to drop a package of emergency supplies so that it lands as close as possible to a downed aircraft. If the rescue plane travels with a velocity of 81 m/s and is flying 125 m above the downed craft, how far away (horizontally) from the downed craft must the rescue pilot drop his package? (Assume negligible air resistance.)
