A helicopter drops a supply package to flood victims on a raft on a swollen lake. When the package is released, the helicopter is 100 m directly above the raft and flying at a velocity of 25.0 m/s at an angle of 36.9° above the horizontal. (a) How long is the package in the air? (b) How far from the raft does the package land? (c) If the helicopter continues at constant velocity, where is the helicopter when the package lands? (Ignore effects of air resistance).
