PROBLEM 2: A jet plane is observed 400ft above the ground and is flying 180mph to the west. A man jumps out of the plane creating a projectile motion and recorded that he is descending at a constant velocity of 6 ft/s after he reached an observable distance from the ground. If the man is to reach the ground 37 seconds after his immediate jump off the plane, determine the range from the initial position of the plane to the target landing of the man in the ground.

PROBLEM 2: A jet plane is observed 400ft above the ground and is flying 180mph to
the west. A man jumps out of the plane creating a projectile motion and recorded
that he is descending at a constant velocity of 6 ft/s after he reached an observable
distance from the ground. If the man is to reach the ground 37 seconds after his
immediate jump off the plane, determine the range from the initial position of the
plane to the target landing of the man in the ground.
