At what angle θ to the horizontal should an object is projected so that the maximum height reached is equal to the horizontal range?
Options
- Atan - 1 2
- Btan - 1 4
- Ctan - 1 ( 2 3 )
- Dtan - 1 3
Correct answer
B. tan - 1 4
Step-by-step solution
Given, H = R or u 2 sin 2 θ 2 g = u 2 sin 2 θ g sin θ × sin θ 2 = 2 sin θ × cos θ ⇒ tan θ = 4 ⇒   θ = tan - 1 4
