One of the fastest recorded pitches in major-league baseball, thrown by Tim Lincecum in 2009, was clocked at 101.0 mi/h. If a pitch were thrown horizontally with this velocity, how far would the ball fall vertically by the time it reached home plate, 60.5 ft away? ft

One of the fastest recorded pitches in major-league baseball, thrown by Joel Zumaya in 2006, was clocked at $101.0 \mathrm{mi} / \mathrm{h}$ (Fig. P3.22). If a pitch were thrown horizonLally with this velocity, how far would the ball fall vertically by the time it reached home plate, $60.5 \mathrm{ft}$ away?
