Solve the all parts of given question:

Question: A car is parked on a cliff overlooking the ocean on an incline that makes an angle of 23o below the horizontal. The negligent driver leaves the car in neutral, and the emergency brakes are defective. The car rolls from rest down the incline with a constant acceleration of 3.1 m/s2 and travels 48 m to the edge of the cliff. The cliff is 37 m above the ocean.

Part A: How long is the car in the air? The acceleration of gravity is 9.81 m/s²?

Part B: What is the car's position relative to the base of the cliff when the car lands in the ocean?

Answer in units of m

I need help to find the car position relative to the base of the cliff.
