Problem

A projectile of mass 200 g is launched in a viscous medium at an angle 60° with the horizontal, with an initial velocity of 270 m/s. It experiences a viscous drag force F⃗\vec{F} = −cv⃗\vec{v} where the drag coefficient c = 0.1 kg/s and v⃗\vec{v} is the instantaneous velocity of the projectile. The projectile hits a vertical wall after 2 s. Taking e = 2.7, the horizontal distance of the wall from the point of projection (in m) is ___.
