A canon is located on the edge of a cliff overlooking the sea as shown below. The cannon is 45 m above sea level. The canon ball is fired at an angle of 60degrees from the horizontal with an initial speed of 50 m/s. Air resistance may be ignored. What horizontal distance (in m) will it travel before it falls into the sea?
