function h = projectile(v_mag,theta)
% Function that takes the initial velocity magnitude and the angle of
% launch of the projectile and calculates the height at 2.37m away from the
% initial position from an initial height of 1.72m.
%   Inputs: v_mag, theta
%   Output: h
%
% Also plots the path to a distance of 2.37m.
