Problem

A projectile is fired with speed 25 m s−125\,\text{m s}^{-1} at 60∘60^{\circ} to the horizontal. Take g=10 m s−2g = 10\,\text{m s}^{-2}. At what horizontal distance from the point of projection does the projectile first reach a height of 15 m15\,\text{m}? (a) 21.6 m21.6\,\text{m} (b) 5.4 m5.4\,\text{m} (c) 10.8 m10.8\,\text{m} (d) 43.3 m43.3\,\text{m}
