Daring Darless wishes to cross the Grand Canyon of the Snake River by being shot from a cannon. She wishes to be launched at 62° relative to the horizontal so she can spend more time in the air waving to the crowd. With what minimum speed must she be launched to cross the 520-m gap? Express your answer with the appropriate units.
