A cannon is mounted on a railroad flatcar, the muzzle elevated to 21.7 degrees and pointed in the direction of the track. The cannon fires a 1.7 metric-ton projectile at 1.2 km/s. If the flatcar and cannon together have a mass of 58.1 metric-tons (not including the projectile), what is the initial recoil speed of the flatcar?
