Question
The time of flight of a projectile is $T$ and horizontal range is $R$. What will be the projectile angle?Or The time of flight is $T$ and horizontal range is $R$ of a projectile. Prove that the angle of projection of a projectile is $\theta=\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{g T^2}{2 R}\right)$.
✓

Answer

Time of flight, $\quad T =\frac{2 u \sin \theta}{g}$......(1)
Horizontal range, $\quad R =\frac{u^2 \sin 2 \theta}{g}$......(2)
On square of equation (1)
$T^2=\frac{4 u^2 \sin ^2 \theta}{g}$
By dividing equation (3) to equation (2)
$\begin{aligned} \frac{ T ^2}{ R } & =\frac{\frac{4 u^2 \sin ^2 \theta}{g}}{\frac{u^2 \sin 2 \theta}{g}} \\ \Rightarrow \quad \frac{g T^2}{ R } & =\frac{4 \sin ^2 \theta}{\sin 2 \theta}=\frac{4 \sin ^2 \theta}{2 \sin \theta \cos \theta} \\ \Rightarrow \quad \frac{g T^2}{ R } & =\frac{2 \sin \theta}{\cos \theta}=2 \tan \theta \\ \Rightarrow \quad \frac{g T^2}{ R } & =\tan \theta\end{aligned}$
$\therefore \quad \theta=\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{g T^2}{2 R }\right)$
