Question: An airplane is dropping bales of hay to cattle stranded in a blizzard on the Great Plains. The pilot releases the bales at 140m above the level ground when the plane is flying at 60.0m/s 50.0 degree above the horizontal.

Part A: How far in front of the cattle should the pilot release the hay so that the bales will land at the point where the cattle are stranded?

Please show me how you solve the above question.
