Projectile motion
Question

A cannon on a level plane is aimed at an angle θ above the horizontal and a shell is fired with a muzzle velocity vs towards a vertical cliff a distance D away. Then the
height from the bottom at which the shell strikes the side walls of the cliff is

Difficult
Solution

Equation of trajectory for oblique projectile motion

y=xtanθgx22u2cos2θ

 Substituting x=D and u=v0

h=DtanθgD22v02cos2θ
