$A$ ball is hit by a batsman at an angle of $37^o$ with an initial velocity $u = 15 \ m/s$ as shown in the figure. The man standing at $P$ is at a distance of $9 \ m$ from the point $B$ where the ball would strike the ground. What is the minimum velocity at which the man should run to catch the ball before it hits the ground? Assume the height of the man is negligible. ........ $m/s$
