Question

In celebration of the 2018 Winter Olympics, some classmates have challenged you and a team of your friends to a special “Bar Olympics” while all of you watch the opening ceremony. In this particular challenge a piece of ice slides down a ramp to give it some speed. It then flies off the side of the bar horizontally and eventually must land in a glass on the floor 2 feet from the base of the bar. The bar is 4 feet in height. You need to determine how fast the ice has to be going off the side of the bar in order to make it into the glass to help your team win the “Bar Olympics”. (g = 32.2 ft/s2 )

Im asking for a very descriptive solution, including a physics diagram of the problem, the equations needed for the problem and the equations solved for the varaible. The more the better. Thank you
