Let R₁ and R₂ respectively be the maximum ranges up and down an inclined plane and R be the maximum range on the horizontal plane. Then R ₁, R , R ₂ are in
Options
- AН.P
- BA.G.P
- CA.P
- DG.P.
Correct answer
A. Н.P
Step-by-step solution
Let be the inclination of the plane to the horizontal and u be the velocity of projection of the projectile R ₁= u ^2 ~g (1+ ) and R ₂= u ^2 ~g (1- ) 1 R ₁ + 1 R ₂ = 2 ~g u ^2 or 1 R ₁ + 1 R ₂ = 2 R [ R = u ^2 ~g ] Therefore, R ₁, R , R ₂ are in H.P.
