Solving an Athlete's Shot Range Problem

[ChargedTaco]

Homework Statement

An athlete puts a 16lbs shot at an angle of 45 degrees to horizontal from 6.5ft above the ground at initial speed of 44ft/sec. How far does the shot land?
g=32ft/s^2

Homework Equations

I can only calculated the range from the point it is fired to the point where it is 6.5 ft from the ground. But I have no clue calculating the distance traveled from the interval where it is 6.5ft above the ground to the ground(y=0).

The Attempt at a Solution

d = V0^2 sin2(45)/(32)
= (44)^2/ 32
= 60.5 ft
this is all i know. help please.

thanks, I'll edit it.

oops, looks like I can't change the title.

You might want to write down all relevant equations for projectile motion and see what you can do with them.
