As a ship is approaching a dock at 45.0 cm/s, a piece of landing equipment needs to be thrown to it before it can dock. This equipment is thrown at 15.0 m/s at 60.0° above the horizontal from the top of a tower at the edge of the water, 8.75 m above the ship’s deck. For this equipment to land at the front of the ship, at what distance D from the dock should the ship be when the equipment is thrown?
Air resistance can be neglected.
