Expert Solution
Step 1: Given and Required

Given,

          The initial velocity of the baseball is 

                                                                   v subscript o space equals space 70 space f t divided by s

          The angle of baseball with the horizontal is 

                                                                    theta space equals 30 degree

           The initial position of the ball,

                                                                     y subscript o space space equals space 3 space f t 

We need to find,

      a) Time taken by the ball to hit the ground

     b)   Horizontal distance traveled by the ball.
