Acertain airplane has a speed of 297.6 km/h and is diving at an angle of 0 = 33.0° below the horizontal when the pilot releases a radar decoy (see the figure). The horizontal distance between the release point and the point where the decoy strikes the ground is d = 651 m. (a) How long is the decoy in the air? (b) How high was the release point?
