A professional team of players is designing a catapult to launch a small balM at A so that it lands a box 60e mm long and 200 mm thick. 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 will the ball lands inside the box. The small ball is placed 300 mm above the ground. PROVIDE ILLUSTRATIONS.
