Tell me now if this question is posted in the wrong place. This isn't a homework problem per se, it's just a question I need answered and I'm not sure how to answer it. If there is any information missing, chances are I know it and forgot to post it, so please ask if something is missing.
I drew out the situation in the attachment below. I can only solve this problem without air drag, I'm lost as to how to add air drag to it.
