A batter hits the baseball A with an initial velocity of v 0 = 100 ft/sec directly

Question:

A batter hits the baseball A with an initial velocity of v0 = 100 ft/sec directly toward fi elder B at an angle of 30° to the horizontal; the initial position of the ball is 3 ft above ground level. Fielder B requires 14 sec to judge where the ball should be caught and begins moving to that position with constant speed. Because of great experience, fielder B chooses his running speed so that he arrives at the “catch position” simultaneously with the baseball. The catch position is the field location at which the ball altitude is 7 ft. Determine the velocity of the ball relative to the fielder at the instant the catch is made.
