A block slides down a straight ramp inclined at an angle of θ = 30∘, then slides horizontally off the end of a table as shown. There is no friction, and the block's speed leaving the table is the same as its speed at the end of the ramp. At what distance x from the bottom of the ramp should you release the block so that it lands in the bucket? 15 cm 49 cm 60 cm 30 cm 21 cm
