A physics student stands on a cliff overlooking a lake and decides to throw a baseball to her friends in the water below. She throws the baseball with a velocity of 21.5 m/s at an angle of 32.5 above the horizontal. When the baseball leaves her hand, it is 16.5 m above the water. How far does the baseball travel horizontally before it hits the water? Neglect any effects of air resistance when calculating the answer.
