    Uncovering the Physics Behind a Cannon: US Army's Elevation Formula Revealed

    here is a cruddy pic to try to explain what I am saying for the sake of simplifacation we can eliminate wind direction and wind speed.

    Uncovering the Physics Behind a Cannon: US Army's Elevation Formula Revealed

    Ok now I am new to the whole physics thing so that's y I am here. Ok well I know that there is a fomula that the US army has developed to figure out the elevation in degrees that a cannon should be pointed to land a round on a specefic target, But I am having a problem finding this formula. I...
