Detailed Solution

Angle of projection as seen from the truck $= 90 °$
Time taken by truck : $t = \frac{s}{v t} = \frac{58.8}{14.7} = 4 s$
$u = \frac{t g}{2 \sin θ} = \frac{4 \times 9.8}{2 \times 1} = 19.6 m / s$
As seen from the road $v = \sqrt{u_{x}^{2} + u_{y}^{2}} = \sqrt{v_{t}^{2} + u^{2}}$
$θ = \tan^{- 1} (\frac{19.6}{14.7}) = \tan^{- 1} (1.33) = 53 °$
