|| A firefighting crew uses a water cannon that shoots water at 25.0 m/s at a fixed angle of 53.0° above the horizontal. The firefighters want to direct the water at a blaze that is 10.0 m above ground level. How far from the building should they position their cannon? There are two possibilities; can you get them both? (Hint: Start with a sketch showing the trajectory of the water.)

- A firefighting crew uses a water cannon that shoots water at 29.0 m/s at a fixed angle of 50.0° above the horizontal. The firefighters want to direct the water at a blaze that is 11.0 m above ground level. How far from the building should they position their cannon? There are two possibilities (di < d2); can you get them both?
