Question

The horizontal range of projectile is 23 times its maximum height. Find the angle of projection.

Open in App
Solution

If u and α are the initial velocity of projection and angle of projection, respectively, then
Maximum height attained = u2sin2α2g
Horizontal range = 2u2sinαcosαg
According to the problem,
2u2sinαcosαg=23(u2sin2α2g)tanα=(23)
α=tan1(23)
