Problem

A helicopter is flying horizontally with a constant velocity of 20 m/s20\,\text{m/s} at an altitude of 110 m110\,\text{m}. A package is dropped from it. An observer on the ground is situated such that the package lands directly at their feet. Calculate the angle of elevation of the helicopter from the observer's perspective at the instant the package was released. (Take g=10 m/s2g = 10\,\text{m/s}^{2})
