A vertical pole has a red mark at some height. A stone is projected form a fixed point on the ground. When projected at an angle of 45 degree it hits the pole orthogonally 1 m above the mark. When projected at an angle with a different speed at an angle of tan-1 (3/4), it hits the pole orthogonally 1.5 m below the mark. Find the speed and angle of projection so that it hits the mark orthogonally to the pole. (g = 10 m/s2)

Dear Student,



The stone hits the pole perpendicularly means that the stone was at highest point of trajectory.when angle of projection=45°2D=Range2D=u12sin2θg2D=u12sin90°g=u12g ........
