    The maximum height reached by a projectile is 4m. The horizontal range is 12m. Velocity of projection in \[m{{s}^{-1}},\]is (g = acceleration due to gravity)

    A)  \[5\sqrt{\frac{g}{2}}\]                  

    B)  \[3\frac{g}{\sqrt{2}}\]

    C)  \[\frac{1}{3}\frac{g}{\sqrt{2}}\]               

    D)  \[\frac{1}{5}\sqrt{\frac{g}{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    Given, height of projectile H = 4 m Horizontal range R = 12 m Height of projectile is \[H=\frac{{{u}^{2}}{{\sin }^{2}}\theta }{2g}\] Range of projectile is \[R=\frac{{{u}^{2}}\sin 2\theta }{g}\]                      ?(ii) Dividing Eqs. (i) by (ii), also putting given value, we get \[\frac{H}{R}=\frac{{{u}^{2}}{{\sin }^{2}}\theta }{2g}/\frac{{{u}^{2}}\sin 2\theta }{g}\] \[=\frac{{{u}^{2}}{{\sin }^{2}}\theta }{2g}\times \frac{g}{{{u}^{2}}2\sin \theta \cos \theta }\] \[\frac{4}{12}=\frac{\tan \theta }{4}\] or \[\tan \theta =\frac{4\times 4}{12}=\frac{4}{3}\] \[\sin \theta =\frac{4}{5}\] \[H=\frac{{{u}^{2}}\times \frac{16}{25}}{2g}\] \[4=\frac{{{u}^{2}}\times \frac{16}{15}}{2g}\] \[u=5\sqrt{\frac{g}{2}}\,m\text{/}s\]
