A 110 pound man runs off a cliff going at .5 meters per second. The cliff is 43 meters tall. there is a ship 7 meters away from the base of the cliff. Also, as soon as he falls, there is a constant wind going at 30 miles per hour blowing at North 30 degrees West. How far away from the boat does the man land?
I need the answer in meters please. Some of the measurements provided are not using the metric system (i.e pounds and miles). This question is just taking me way too long.

How does feet have anything to do with anything? I hope you mean pounds and miles...
