# A rocket is fired at a speed of \(75.0 \, \text{m/s}\) from ground level, at an angle of \(60.0^\circ\) above the horizontal. The rocket is fired toward an \(11.0 \, \text{m}\)-high wall, which is located \(27.0 \, \text{m}\) away. The rocket attains its launch speed in a negligibly short period of time, after which its engines shut down and the rocket coasts. By how much does the rocket clear the top of the wall?
