Homework Statement



A projectile must be fired from a cannon and hit the enemy headquarters located on the top of a cliff 75.0 m above and 350 m from the cannon. The cannon will shoot the projectile at an angle 40.0 degrees above the horizontal. What does the speed of the projectile need to be when it is fired from the cannon so that it will hit the enemy headquarters. Don't assume the projectile will hit the headquarters at the highest point of it's flight.
