Meriam, Kraige & Bolton — Kinematics of Particles: Problem 2_55

2/55 A fireworks show is choreographed to have two shells cross paths at a height of 160 feet and explode at an apex of 200 feet under normal weather conditions. If the shells have a launch angle \(\theta = 60^\circ\) above the horizontal, determine the common launch speed \(v_0\) for the shells, the separation distance \(d\) between the launch points A and B, and the time from launch at which the shells explode.
