A fire hose ejects a stream of water at an angle of 35.0º above the horizontal. The water leaves the nozzle with a speed of 25.0 m/s. Assuming that the water behaves like a projectile, how far from a building should the fire hose be located to hit the highest possible fire?

25ft
30m
29.7 m

... solve for X by finding the time it takes for v0y to hit 0

1.45s times 20.5 m/s (vx) = 29.7 meters
