An object is projected from the earth's surface with escape velocity at 30^(@) with horizontal. What is the angle made by the velocity with horizontal when the object reaches a height 2R from the earth's surface ? R is the radius of the earth. Horizontal can be considered as a line parallel to the tangent at the earth's surface just below the object .
