A particle is projected with an angle of projection $\theta$ to the horizontal line passing through the points $( P , Q )$ and $( Q , P )$ referred to horizontal and vertical axes (can be treated as $x$-axis and $y$-axis respectively).

The angle of projection can be given by

An object is projected in the air with initial velocity $u$ at an angle $\theta$. The projectile motion is such that the horizontal range $R$, is maximum. Another object is projected in the air with a horizontal range half of the range of first object. The initial velocity remains same in both the case. The value of the angle of projection, at which the second object is projected, will be $.......$ degree.
