A ball is thrown at $30^{\circ}$ with horizontal, from the top of roof $20 \mathrm{~m}$ high with a speed of $13 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}$. At what distance from the throwing point will the ball, once again be at a height of $20 \mathrm{~m}$ from the ground? $\left(g=10 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}\right)$

The situation is as shown below.

Given, $\theta=30^{\circ}$, initial speed, $u=13 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}$ $ \begin{aligned} \text { Range } & =\frac{u^2 \sin 2 \theta}{g} \\ & =\frac{(13)^2 \times \sin 60^{\circ}}{10}=\frac{169 \times \sqrt{3}}{10 \times 2}=14.6 \mathrm{~m} \end{aligned} $ $\therefore$ Range, $R=14.6 \mathrm{~m}$ Hence, the ball once again be at a height of $20 \mathrm{~m}$ from the ground at $14.6 \mathrm{~m}$ from the point of projection
