As a ship is approaching the dock at 40 cm/s, an important piece of landing equipment needs to be thrown to it before it can dock. This equipment is thrown at 20 m/s at 30° above the horizontal from the top of a tower at the edge of a water, 10 m above the ship's deck (see the figure). For this equipment to land at the rear of the ship, where the length of the ship is d = 10 m, at what distance D from the dock should the ship be when the equipment is thrown? Air resistance can be neglected, and take g = 10 m/s?.
