3-2.Motion in Plane
hard
A projectile crosses two walls of equal height $H$ symmetrically as shown The angle of projection of the projectile is

A
$tan^{-1}(3/4)$
B
$tan^{-1}(4/3)$
C
$tan^{-1}(4/5)$
D
$tan^{-1}(3/5)$
Solution
The projectile is at a height $h$ at $t =2$ and $t =6$ seconds .
$h=u \sin \theta t-\frac{1}{2} g t^2$
at $t =2$,
$h=2 u \sin \theta-2 g$
at $t=6$,
$h =6 u \sin \theta-18\,g$
$\therefore 4 u \sin \theta=16\,g$
$u \sin \theta=4 g =40 \ldots \text { (i) }$
As the separation between the 2 points is $120 m$,
$u \cos \theta \times \Delta t =120$
$4 u \cos \theta=120$
$u \cos \theta=30 \ldots$ $(ii)$
Dividing equation $(i)$ by $(iii)$
$\tan \theta=\frac{4}{3}$
