Math Problem Statement
- A projectile is fired from point 0 at the edge of a cliff, with initial velocity components of vox 60.0 m/s and voy 175 m/s, as shown in the figure. The projectile rises and then falls into the sea at point P. The time of flight of the projectile is 40.0 s, and it experiences no appréciable air resistance in flight. What is the height of the cliff?
