Question

The trajectory of a projectile in a vertical plane is y=axbx2, where a and b are constants and x and y are respectively horizontal and vertical distances of the projectile from the point of projection. The maximum height attained by the particle and the angle of projection from the horizontal are :

Difficult
Solution

y=axbx2

For height or y to be maximum

dydx=0 or a2bx=0 or x=a2b

 (i) ymax=aa2bba2b2=a24b

 (ii) dydx=a2bx

an initial position x = 0

dydxx=0=a=tanθ

θ=tan1(a)
