A golfer is attempting to reach the elevated green by hitting his ball under a low-hanging branch in one tree A, but over second tree B. If the launch speed of the golf ball is vo= 109 mi/hr, what launch angle will put the first impact point of to the pin? How far from the pin (distance d) is this impact point?
