    an initial velocity vA at a 30o angle. If he strikes
    the ground at B, determine vA and the time of
    flight.
    6. The boy at A attempts to throw a ball over the
    roof of a barn such that it is launched at an angle
    qA=40o. Determine the minimum speed vA at
    which he must throw the ball so that it reaches its
    maximum height at C. Also, find the distance d
    where the boy must stand so that he can make the
    throw.
