A plane is inclined at an angle α = 30º with respect to the horizontal. A particle is projected with a speed u = 2 ms⁻¹, from the base of the plant, making an angle θ = 15º with respect to the plane as shown in the figure.

Answer»

Given:

A PLANE is inclined at an angle α = 30º with respect to the horizontal. A particle is projected with a speed u = 2 ms⁻¹, from the base of the plant, making an angle θ = 15º with respect to the plane as shown in the figure.

To find:

Range of projectile

Calculation:

Let the angle of projectile w.r.t to ground be \phi.

\therefore \phi = \theta + \alpha

= > \phi = 15 + 30

= > \phi = {45}^{ \circ}

Now, please REMEMBER the GENERAL formula for range on inclined plane :

R = \dfrac{ {u}^{2} }{g { \cos}^{2}( \alpha ) } \bigg \{ \sin(2 \phi - \alpha ) - \sin( \alpha ) \bigg \}

PUTTING all the available values:

= > R = \dfrac{ {2}^{2} }{g { \cos}^{2}( {30}^{ \circ} ) } \bigg \{ \sin( {90}^{ \circ} - {30}^{ \circ} ) - \sin( {30}^{ \circ} ) \bigg \}

= > R = \dfrac{ 16}{ 30} \bigg \{ \sin( {60}^{ \circ} ) - \sin( {30}^{ \circ} ) \bigg \}

= > R = \dfrac{ 16}{ 30} \bigg \{ \dfrac{ \sqrt{3} }{2} - \dfrac{1}{2} \bigg \}

= > R = \dfrac{ 16}{ 30} \bigg \{ \dfrac{ \sqrt{3} - 1 }{2} \bigg \}

= > R = \dfrac{ 16}{ 30} \bigg \{ \dfrac{ 0.732}{2} \bigg \}

= > R = 0.195 \: m

= > R \approx 0.20 \: m

= > R \approx 20 \: cm

So, FINAL answer:

\boxed{ \large{ \bold{R \approx 20 \: cm}}}
