An apple grows on a tree located on a 42° hill with respect to the horizontal. The apple falls, hitting the ground with a downward velocity at 6.87 m/s. The apple's impact velocity can be resolved into components parallel and perpendicular to the hill. Find the magnitude of the parallel component, t.
