1-If the teacher always launches the ball with the speed 18.12698336m/s, what is the minimum angle (in degrees above the horizontal) at which he can launch the ball and still clear the playground railing? (Hint: You may need to use the trigonometric identity 

sec2(θ) = 1 + tan2(θ).)  


2-What would be the horizontal distance (in m) from the wall to the point on the roof where the ball lands in this case?
