(Physics) The maximum height reached by a ball thrown with an initial velocity, v, in meters/sec, at an angle of θ is given by this formula:

height = (.5 × v2 × sin2 θ) / 9.8

Using this formula, write, compile, and run a C++ program that determines and displays the maximum height reached when the ball is thrown at 5 mph at an angle of 60 degrees. (Hint: Make sure to convert the initial velocity into the correct units. There are 1609 meters in a mile.) Calculate the maximum height manually, and verify the result your program produces. After verifying that your program works correctly, use it to determine the height reached by a ball thrown at 7 mph at an angle of 45 degrees.
