You are standing on the Bridge watching the boats in the river. You sec a motorboat directly below you, traveling perpendicular to the bridge at a speed of 3 m/s. A person on the boat throws a baseball at an initial speed of `v_(0)` and at angle of `37^(@)` from the vertical (Note : both `v_(0)` and the angle are with respect to the boat). find the value of `v_(0)` (in m/s) necessary for the ball to travel straight up towards you.
