A projectile is projected with velocity of 25 m s-1 at an angle θ with the horizontal. After t seconds its inclination with horizontal becomes zero. If R represents horizontal range of the projectile, the value of θ will be : [use use g=10 m s-2]
  1. 12sin-15t24R
  2. 12sin-14R5t2
  3. tan-14t25R
  4. cot-1R20t2

Solution

From the information given in the question, after time t the inclination of the projectile becomes zero i.e. the projectile is at the highest point. Therefore,

t=T2=usinθg.

The rang of the projectile R=2u2sinθcosθg.

Now,

Rt2=2u2sinθcosθg×g2u2sin2θ=2gcotθθ=cot-1R20t2
