A putty of mass m is thrown at an angle of 60° to the horizontal with a velocity of 10 m/s. Simultaneously, another identical putty is thrown at an angle of 30° to horizontal so that they collide in mid air and stick to each other. How far (in m) from the point of projection of 1st putty does the combination land ?
