A team of engineering students designs a medium-size catapult which launches 8-lb steel spheres. The launch speed is vo = 80 ft/sec, the launch angle is ? = 35o above the horizontal, and the launch position is 6 ft above ground level. The students use an athletic field with an adjoining slope topped by an 8-ft fence as shown.
Determine:
(a) the time duration tf of the flight.
(b) the x-y coordinates of the point of first impact.
(c) the maximum height h above the horizontal field attained by the ball.
(d) the velocity (expressed as a vector) with which the projectile strikes the ground (or the fence).
