Estimate at what angle should the cannon be fired

Reference no: EM13711892

Question: A cannon with a muzzle speed of 992 m/s is used to start an avalanche on a mountain slope. The target is 2100 m from the cannon horizontally and 810 m above the cannon.

Part A: At what angle, above the horizontal, should the cannon be fired?

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you so much! And ignore air resistance.
