Question
Find the angle of projection at which horizontal range and maximum height are equal.
✓
Answer
Horizontal range = Maximum height (given) $\therefore\ \frac{\text{u}^2}{\text{g}}\sin2\theta=\frac{\text{u}^2\sin^2\theta}{2\text{g}}$ $\Rightarrow\ 2\sin\theta\cos\theta=\frac{\sin^2\theta}{2}$ $[\therefore\ \sin2\theta=2\cos\theta\sin\theta]$
$\tan\theta=4$
$\Rightarrow\ \theta=75^\circ58'$

A metal block of area $0.10 m ^2$ is connected to a $0.010 kg$ mass via a string that passes over an ideal pulley (considered massless and frictionless), as in Fig. 9.13. A liquid with a film thickness of $0.30 mm$ is placed between the block and the table. When released the block moves to the right with a constant speed of $0.085 m s ^{-1}$. Find the coefficient of viscosity of the liquid.
