Q.

Two projectiles are fired with same initial speed from same point on ground at angles of (45° – α) and (45° + α) respectively, with the horizontal direction. The ratio of their maximum heights attained is          [2025]

1 1tan α1+tan α  
2 1+sin α1sin α  
3 1sin 2α1+sin 2α  
4 1+sin 2α1sin 2α  

Ans.

HMax=(u sin θ)22g

              =(Hmax)1(Hmax)2=u2sin2(45α)u2sin2(45+α)

                =(12cos α12sin α)2(12cos α+12sin α)2=1sin 2α1+sin 2α.
