Assume that the water coming from the end of a horizontal pipe 25 ft above the ground is parabolic in shape and the vertex of such parabola is at the end of the pipe. If at a point 8 ft below the line of the pipe, the flow of water has curved outward 10ft beyond a vertical line through the end of the pipe, how far beyond this vertical line will the water strike the ground?
