An artillery piece which consistently shoots its shells with the same muzzle speed has a maximum range R. To hit a target which is R2 from the gun and on the same level, the elevation angle of the gun should be:

a
15o
b
45o
c
30o
d
60o

detailed solution

Correct option is A

Rmax.=R=u2g or u2=Rg Now, as range=u2sin⁡2θg Then R2=Rgsin⁡2θg  or sin⁡2θ=12=sin⁡30∘ θ=15∘
