A fireworks show is choreographed to have two shells cross paths at a height of 138 feet and explode at an apex of 180 feet undernormal weather conditions. If the shells have a launch angle 9 = 61° above the horizontal, determine the common launch speed n forthe shells, the separation distance dbetween the launch points A and B. and the time tfrom launch at which the shells explode.Determine the time t; from launch to when the paths cross.42'138'Voe Bd-Answer: t =sec
