While playing in Yankee, Stadium, Mickey Mantle hits a baseball that attains a maximum height of 69 ft and strikes the ground 328 ft away from home plate unless it is caught by an outfielder. Assume that the outfielder can catch the ball sometime before it strikes the ground—only if it is less than 9.8 ft above the ground. Assume that Mantle hit the ball when it was 3.28 ft above the ground, and assume no air resistance. Within what horizontal distance can the fielder catch the ball?
