Revisit Example 3.4 and assume that the trajectory of the ball is shallow enough that the effects of the drag force in the y direction can be neglected and that the component of the drag force in the x direction is proportional to the square of the x component of velocity. Using this assumption and the same drag coefficient discussed in the example (Cd = 4.71 × 10−7 lb·s2/ft2), compute the horizontal distance R traveled by a 1.61 oz golf ball subject to the same initial conditions given in the example, i.e., the initial velocity has a magnitude υ0 = 187 mph and an initial orientation θ0 = 11.2°.
