Compute all parts of given problem:

Problem: The archerfish hunts by dislodging an unsuspecting insect from its resting place with a stream of water expelled from the fish's mouth. Suppose the archerfish squirts water with a speed of 2.10m/s at an angle of 48.0 degrees above the horizontal, and aims for a beetle on a leaf 2.90cm above the water's surface.

Part A: What is the greatest horizontal distance from which the archerfish can hit the beetle?

Part B: How much time does the beetle have to react in this case?

I need help to compute the greatest horizontal distance from which the archerfish can hit the beetle.
