A shot is fired at an angle `theta` to the horizontal such that it strikes the hill while moving horizontally. Find the initial angle of projection `theta`.

A

`tan theta = 2/5`

B

`tan theta = 3/8`

C

`tan theta = 3/2`

D

None of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`tan 37^(@) = H_("max")/(R//2)`
`3/4 = (u^(2) sin^(2) theta//2g)/(u^(2) sin theta cos theta//g)`
`rArr tan theta =3/2`
