Question

At what angle should a body be projected with a velocity 24 ms-1 just to pass over the obstacle 14 m high at a distance of 24 m. [Take g = 10 ms-2]      

Options

A.tan θ  = 19/5
B.tan θ  = 1
C.tan θ  = 3
D.tan θ  = 2

Solution

x = 24 = u cosθ.t
⇒    t =
y = 14 = u sinθt − gt2
⇒    14 =
⇒    14 = u tan θ − 5 sec2θ
⇒    5 tan2θ − 24 tan θ + 19 = 0
⇒    tanθ = 1, 19/5. Ans
