A golf ball is struck from a point O with velocity 24 m/s at an angle of 40° to the horizontal. The ball first hits the ground at point P, located at a height h metres above and 57 metres away (range) from point O. Time for total flight is 3.1 seconds. Find the angle between the direction of motion and the horizontal as the ball hits the ground
