A young baseball player thinks he has hit a home run and gets excited, but, instead, he has just hit it to an outfielder who is just able to catch the ball, and does so at ground level. The ball was hit at a height of 1.5 meters from the ground at an angle $\phi$ above the horizontal axis. The catch was taken at a horizontal distance 30 meters from home plate, which was where the batter hit the ball. The ball left the bat at a speed of 21 m/s. Find all possible values $0<\phi<90^\circ$, in degrees, rounded to the nearest integer. You may use WolframAlpha, Mathematica, or a graphing aid to compute $\phi$ after you derive an expression to solve for it. [i](Proposed by Ahaan Rungta)[/i]
