Solution
Formula used: T=2uygeff
s=ut+12at2
When x and y axis are selected as shown in the diagram, the motion of projectile A is:
y=0 uy=v0cosθ ay=−θ t=T
From Newton’s second equation of motion y=uyt+12ayt2 0=v0cosθT+12(−gcosθ)T2 T=2v0g
Range along x−axis: x=uxt+12axt2 ux=vosinθ ax=gsinθ x=L t=T
Putting values,we get L=vosinθ(2v0g)+12gsinθ(2v0g)2
