The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the time at which a ball projected horizontally from the top of a tower makes an angle of 60 degrees with the horizontal, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Motion**: - The ball is projected horizontally with an initial velocity \( u_0 \). - The horizontal velocity \( V_x \) remains constant throughout the motion since there is no horizontal acceleration. 2. **Identify the Angle**: - The angle \( \theta \) with the horizontal is given as 60 degrees. 3. **Using Trigonometry**: - At the angle of 60 degrees, we can relate the vertical and horizontal components of the velocity using the tangent function: \[ \tan(\theta) = \frac{V_y}{V_x} \] - Here, \( V_y \) is the vertical component of the velocity, and \( V_x \) is the horizontal component, which is equal to \( u_0 \). 4. **Calculate \( V_y \)**: - For \( \theta = 60^\circ \): \[ \tan(60^\circ) = \sqrt{3} \] - Therefore, we have: \[ \sqrt{3} = \frac{V_y}{u_0} \] - Rearranging gives: \[ V_y = \sqrt{3} u_0 \] 5. **Finding the Vertical Velocity**: - The vertical velocity \( V_y \) can also be expressed using the equation of motion: \[ V_y = u_{y} + g t \] - Since the initial vertical velocity \( u_{y} = 0 \) (the ball is projected horizontally), we have: \[ V_y = g t \] 6. **Setting the Equations Equal**: - Now we can set the two expressions for \( V_y \) equal to each other: \[ \sqrt{3} u_0 = g t \] 7. **Solving for Time \( t \)**: - Rearranging gives: \[ t = \frac{\sqrt{3} u_0}{g} \] ### Final Answer: The time at which the ball makes an angle of 60 degrees with the horizontal is: \[ t = \frac{\sqrt{3} u_0}{g} \]
