A student standing on a cliff that is a vertical height d = 8.0 m above the level ground throws a stone with velocity v0 = 17 m/s at an angle θ = 27 ° below horizontal. The stone moves without air resistance; use a Cartesian coordinate system with the origin at the stone's initial position.   With what speed, vf in meters per second, does the stone strike the ground?
