Question

Stewie threw a ball onto a building with a flat roof, as shown in the diagram above.  The ball left her hands with a speed of v0 = 14.8 m/s, at an angle of θ =  75 degrees above horizontal.  Assume air resistance and other sources of friction were negligible, so the ball moved only under the influence of gravity, with g = 9.81 m/s2.    The roof has a height of hR = 6.6 meters, and the ball left Stewie's hands at a height of hB = 1.8 meters above the level ground.  Stewie was standing a distance of d1 =2.9 meters from the building.  How far, in meters, did the ball land from the nearest edge of the building? (This is the distance d2 in the diagram above.)
