A professional team of players is designing a catapult to launch a small ball from point A so that it lands a box 600 mm long and 20e mm tall (height of box's opening from the ground). The box is oriented such that the longer side is parallel to the line between the catapult and the box itself. The horizontal distance between the catapult and the edge of the box nearer to the catapult is 3.85 m. If it is known that the initial velocity makes an angle 60° from the vertical, determine the range of launch speeds for which wil1 the ball lands inside the box. The small ball is placed 300 nn above the ground. PROVIDE
