Find the two possible initial angles 0 in the interval [0, pi/2.5], if v0 = 20 m/s, and the
distance to the catcher is x=30 m. Note that the throw leaves the right fielder's hand at an
elevation of y0=2 m and the catcher receives it at y = 2 m. Use graphical method to
estimate the brackets for each of the roots and use the Bisection method to obtain the
accurate values of the angles.
