One of the teachers kicks the ball back up to the children as shown in the figure below. The playground is 6.10 m above the parking lot, and the school building's vertical wall is h = 7.40 m high, forming a 1.30 m high railing around the playground. The ball is launched at an angle of 8 = 53.0° above the horizontal at a point d = 24.0 m from the base of the building wall. The ball takes 2.20 s to reach a point vertically above the wall. (Due to the nature of this problem, do not use rounded intermediate values-including answers submitted in WebAssign-in your calculations.)
