10. A Spanish Galleon enters a harbor defended by cannon placed on top of a castle wall which is 135 meters above the water level. The cannon have a known muzzle velocity of 323 m/s and are aimed 28.0° above the horizontal. How far from the base of the castle wall will the Galleon be within the range of the cannon?
