The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the ratio of the initial speeds of projection \( u_A \) and \( u_B \) for two objects A and B, which are projected at angles of \( 45^\circ \) and \( 60^\circ \) respectively, and attain the same maximum height. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Maximum Height Formula**: The maximum height \( H \) attained by a projectile is given by the formula: \[ H = \frac{u^2 \sin^2 \theta}{2g} \] where \( u \) is the initial speed, \( \theta \) is the angle of projection, and \( g \) is the acceleration due to gravity. 2. **Setting Up the Heights**: For object A (projected at \( 45^\circ \)): \[ H_1 = \frac{u_A^2 \sin^2(45^\circ)}{2g} \] For object B (projected at \( 60^\circ \)): \[ H_2 = \frac{u_B^2 \sin^2(60^\circ)}{2g} \] 3. **Equating the Heights**: Since both objects attain the same maximum height, we can set \( H_1 \) equal to \( H_2 \): \[ \frac{u_A^2 \sin^2(45^\circ)}{2g} = \frac{u_B^2 \sin^2(60^\circ)}{2g} \] The \( 2g \) cancels out from both sides: \[ u_A^2 \sin^2(45^\circ) = u_B^2 \sin^2(60^\circ) \] 4. **Substituting Values of Sine**: We know: \[ \sin(45^\circ) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \quad \text{and} \quad \sin(60^\circ) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \] Therefore: \[ \sin^2(45^\circ) = \left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)^2 = \frac{1}{2} \] \[ \sin^2(60^\circ) = \left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)^2 = \frac{3}{4} \] 5. **Substituting into the Equation**: Now substituting these values into our equation: \[ u_A^2 \cdot \frac{1}{2} = u_B^2 \cdot \frac{3}{4} \] Rearranging gives: \[ \frac{u_A^2}{u_B^2} = \frac{3}{4} \cdot 2 = \frac{3}{2} \] 6. **Taking the Square Root**: Taking the square root of both sides to find the ratio of the initial speeds: \[ \frac{u_A}{u_B} = \sqrt{\frac{3}{2}} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{2}} \] ### Final Result: The ratio of the initial speeds \( u_A \) and \( u_B \) is: \[ \frac{u_A}{u_B} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{2}} \]

To solve the problem, we need to find the ratio of the initial speeds of projection \( u_A \) and \( u_B \) for two objects A and B, which are projected at angles of \( 45^\circ \) and \( 60^\circ \) respectively, and attain the same maximum height. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Maximum Height Formula**: The maximum height \( H \) attained by a projectile is given by the formula: \[ H = \frac{u^2 \sin^2 \theta}{2g} ...
