Find the angle of projection at which the horizontal range and maximum height of the projectile are equal.

Answer»

Suppose that θ is the angle of projection at which the horizontal range and maximum height of the projectile become equal.

We know, \(H=\frac{u^2sin^2\theta}{2g}\)

and \(R=\frac{u^2sin\,2\theta}{g}\)

Given H = R

 \(\frac{u^2sin\,2\theta}{g}=\frac{u^2sin^2\theta}{2g}\)

or sin 2θ = \(\frac{1}{2}sin^2\,\theta\)

or 2 sin θ cos θ = \(\frac{1}{2}sin^2\,\theta\)

or tan θ = 4

or θ = 75.96º
