Problem Details

A small marble rolls horizontally with speed v0 off the top of a platform 2.75 m tall and feels no appreciable air resistance. On the level ground, 2.00 m from the base of the platform, there is a gaping hole in the ground (the figure The marble is rolling horizontally to the right off the top of a 2.75 meters tall platform at an unknown speed labeled as v0. There is a 1.50 meters wide hole in the ground 2.00 meters to the right from the base of the platform..)

For what range of marble speeds v0 will the marble land in the hole?
