A ball player hits a home run, and the baseball just clears a wall 8.00 m high located 106.7 m from home plate. The ball is hit at an angle of 36.2 degrees to the horizontal, and air resistance is negligible. Assume the ball is hit at a height of 1.1 m above the ground. What is the initial speed of the ball in m/s?

You would need a time to work this problem. Another option is that information that would tell you that the top of the wall is the highest point the ball travels. There is not enough info to answer the problem as it is.
