Question

An enemy ship is on the east side of a mountain island, as shown in the figure. The enemy ship has maneuvered to within 

d1 = 2077 m

 of the 

h = 1940 m

 high mountain peak and can shoot projectiles with an initial speed of 

vi = 244 m/s.

 If the western shoreline is horizontally 

d2 = 273 m

 from the peak, what are the distances from the western shore at which a ship can be safe from the bombardment of the enemy ship?
