A quarterback throws a pass to his wide receiver running a route. The quarterback releases the ball at a height of hQ . The wide receiver is supposed to catch the ball straight down the field 60 ft away at a height of hR . The equation that describes the motion of the football is the familiar equation of projectile motion from physics: y = x tan(?) - 1/2[x2 g/v02 cos2(?)] + hQ where x and y are the horizontal and vertical distance, respectively, g = 32.2 ft/s2 is the acceleration due to gravity, v0 is the initial velocity of the football as it leaves the quarterback's hand, and ? is the angle the football makes with the horizontal just as it leaves the quarterback's throwing hand. For g = 32.2 ft/s², v0 = 50 ft/s, x = 60 ft, hQ = 6.5 ft, and hR = 7 ft, find the angle ? at which the quarterback must launch the ball.
