    Projectile Motion word problem from Calc III course (finding height of a wall).

    The problem is from the MIT Open CourseWare Calculus eBook by Strang. Chapter 12.2, #3: A ball is thrown at 60 degrees with initial velocity of 20m/sec to clear a wall 2m high. How far away is the wall? Finding flight time T, range R, and max height Y(max) is the easy part. How do I find...
