Problem

A firefighter aims a hose at an angle of 53∘53^{\circ} above the horizontal to clear a fence located 20 m20\,\text{m} away. The water exits the nozzle at 20 m/s20\,\text{m/s}. If the fence is 12 m12\,\text{m} high, determine by how much vertical margin the water stream clears or fails to clear the top of the fence. Take g=10 m/s2g = 10\,\text{m/s}^{2}.
