A kite is hovering over the ground at the end of a straight 46-m line. The tension in the line has a magnitude of 14 N. Wind blowing on the kite exerts a force of 18 N, directed 61° above the horizontal. Note that the line attached to the kite is not oriented at an angle of 61° above the horizontal. Find the height of the kite, relative to the person holding the line.
