The Re-defined Projectile

Imagine a golf course and you have to hit a golf ball out of the bunker with just enough speed to land in the hole. All you know is the depth of the bunker is 2 m 2\text{ m} and the horizontal distance to the hole is 15 m 15\text{ m} . Find the angle the ball has to be projected so that the ball lands in the hole.

Give your answer in degrees and in 3 decimal places.

Neglect air resistance, spin, wind velocity.


The answer is 48.797.
