Goro Shigeno (Pitcher) and Joe Gibson Jr. (hitter) went head to head in the Major League Baseball (MLB) series. For the last pitch, Gibson hits the baseball with 82 ft/s at angle of 75°. When the ball is directly above Shigeno he begins to run under it. Determine the (a) the total distance that the pitcher runs and (b) the constant speed at which pitcher must run in order to make the catch at the same elevation at which the ball was hit. (Note: the distance between the pitcher and hitter is 70 ft.)
