an acher shatneds 40m away from his target. If the arrow is shot horizontally with a velocity of 90m/s how far above the bull's eye must he aim to compensate for gravity pulling down. No air resistance and I guess the target is level with him.

How long does it take for the arrow to reach the target? How far would the arrow fall vertically in that amount of time?
