a ship is approaching a cliff of height 105 m above the sea level .a gun fitted  on ship can fire shots with a speed 110m/s  .find the maximum distance from the foot of the cliff from where the gun can hit on top of cliff .[g=10m/s]

1100m

110m

It can be solve bu equation of trajectory
  • -10
By eq of trajectory we get quadratic right??

Plz send solution

angle = α  of projection  ,  time = t to reach peak

S = ut + (1/2)at²

=> 105  = 110Sinα * t  -  5t²

=> 110Sinα * t   =  105 + 5t²

Horizontal distance = 110Cosα * t 

Use maxima & minima to solve it further to get maximum distance
t =  root221

Distance = 1100 m
