A particle is projected with an angle of projection `theta` to the horizontal line passing through the points (P,Q) and (Q,P) referred to horizontal and vertical axes (can be treated as X-axis and Y-axis respectively). The angle of projection can be given by

A

`tan^(-1) [(P^(2)+PQ +Q^(2))/(PQ)]`

B

`tan^(-1)[(P^(2)+Q^(2)-PQ)/(PQ)]`

C

`tan^(-1)[(P^(2)+Q^(2))/(2PQ)]`

D

`sin^(-1)[(P^(2)+Q^(2)+PQ)/(2PQ)]`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

The equation of trajectory.
`y = x tan alpha [1-(x)/(R)]` gives
`Q = P tan theta [1-(P)/(R)]` ...(i)
and `P = Q tan theta [1-(Q)/(R)]` ......(ii)
On dividing we get, `(Q^(2))/(P^(2)) = ([1-P//R])/([1-Q//R])`
`(1)/(R) [P^(3)-Q^(3)] = P^(2)-Q^(2)`
`R = (P^(3)-Q^(3))/(P^(2)-Q^(2)) = (P+PQ +Q^(2))/(P+Q)`
Now, `(Q)/(P) = tan theta [1-(P(P+Q))/(P^(2)+PQ+Q^(2))]`
`= tan theta [(P^(2)+PQ+Q^(2)-P^(2)-PQ)/(P^(2)+PQ+Q^(2))]`
`rArr tan theta = (P^(2)+Q^(2)+PQ)/(PQ)`
`rArr theta = tan^(-1) [(P^(2)+PQ+Q^(2))/(PQ)]`
