If a stone is to hit at a point which is at a distance `d` away and at a height `h` (Fig. 5.200) above the point from where the stone starts, then what is the value of initial speed `u` if the stone is launched at an angle `theta` ?
.

A

`(g)/(cos theat)sqrt((d)/(2(d tan theta-h)))`

B

`(d)/(cos theta)sqrt((g)/(2(d tan theta-h)))`

C

`sqrt((gd^(2))/(h cos^(2)theta))`

D

`sqrt((gd^(2))/((d-h)))`
