A particle is projected from the ground with velocity $u$ at angle $\theta$ with horizontal. The horizontal range, maximum height and time of flight are $R, H$ and $T$ respectively. They are given by $R = \frac{{{u^2}\sin 2\theta }}{g}$, $H = \frac{{{u^2}{{\sin }^2}\theta }}{{2g}}$ and $T = \frac{{2u\sin \theta }}{g}$ Now keeping $u $ as fixed, $\theta$ is varied from $30^o$ to $60^o$. Then,

At $t=0$, th $\geqslant$ right edge of the loop enters a region of length $3 L$ where there is a uniform magnetic field $B_{i)}$ into the plane of the paper, as shown in the figure. For sufficiently large $v_0$, the loop eventually crosses the region. Let $x$ be the location of the right edge of the loop. Let $\mathrm{v}(x), I(x)$ and $F(x)$ represent the velocity of the loop, current in the loop, and force on the loop, respectively, as a function of $x$. Counter-clockwise current is taken as positive.
