Answer:
d = 421.83 m
Explanation:
It is given that,
Height, h = 396.9 m
Horizontal speed, v = 46.87 m/s
We need to find the distance traveled by the ball horizontally. Let t is the time taken by the ball. Using second equation of motion for vertical direction. So,
Now d is the distance covered by the cannonball. So,
Hence, this is the required solution.

To solve this exercise it is necessary to take into account the concepts related to Tensile Strength and Shear Strenght.
In Materials Mechanics, generally the bodies under certain loads are subject to both Tensile and shear strenghts.
By definition we know that the tensile strength is defined as
Where,
Tensile strength
F = Tensile Force
A = Cross-sectional Area
In the other hand we have that the shear strength is defined as
where,
Shear strength
Shear Force
Parallel Area
PART A) Replacing with our values in the equation of tensile strenght, then
Resolving for F,
PART B) We need here to apply the shear strength equation, then
In such a way that the material is more resistant to tensile strength than shear force.
