Problem
A baseball pitcher releases a fastball with an initial velocity v0 = 90 mi/h. Let θ be the initial angle of the ball’s velocity vector above the horizontal. When it is released, the ball is 6 ft above the ground and 58 ft from the batter's plate. The batter’s strike zone extends from 1 ft 10 in above the ground to 4 ft 6 in above the ground. Neglecting aerodynamic effects, determine whether the ball will hit the strike zone
(a) if θ = 1 ° and
(b) if θ = 2°.
