Water from a fire hose is directed toward a building as shown in the figure below. The water leaves the hose at a speed ofv₁ = 40.0 m/sand at an angle of0; = 35.0°above the horizontal. The base of the hose (at ground level) is a horizontal distanced = 45.0 maway from the building. Find the height h (in m) where the water strikes the building.

The given situation is an example of projectile motion. So we will use relevant kinematic equations…

Water from a fire hose is directed toward a building as shown in the figure below. The water leaves the hose at a speed of V₁ = 40.0 m/s and at an angle of 0₁ = 35.0° above the horizontal. The base of the hose (at ground level) is a horizontal distance d = 45.0 m away from the building. Find the height h (in m) where the water strikes the building.
