The wind resistance on the package can be neglected when


A cargo plane has to drop a relief package to people in need.The plane is flying level (vertical velocity = 0) at 200 ft.The plane is traveling at a horizontal velocity of 240 ft/s in a straight line toward the drop target.

The wind resistance on the package can be neglected. When releasing the package, at what angle?(in degrees)down from the horizontal must the pilot see the target for the package to land on the target?
