Dear Zenon,
  You could transpose the axis so line (x1,y1) (x2,y2) is perpendicular to
your local gravitational plane.  Hold your calc at (x1,y1) then drop it
to (x2,y2).  Time the fall in seconds=t and the distance in meters will
be 4.9*t^2


  Another method is to tell us what type of calculator you have.


stay connected,
Elwood
