The angle of projection of a projectile for which the horizontal range and maximum height are equal is :
• Given : Horizontal range = maximum height
• We know, horizontal range is given by formula
R = u^2×sin2θ/g
And maximum height is given by,
H = u^2×sin^2θ/2g
• When R = H,
u^2×sin2θ/g = u^2×sin^2θ/2g
sin2θ = sin^2(θ) / 2
2sinθ×cosθ = sinθ×sinθ/2
2cosθ = sinθ/2
tanθ = 4
• θ = tan^-1(4) = 76°
