Ok so I need 3 things: The first is distance, the seconed is the angle of traverse (Directlly N being 0 deg), and the third is angle off the horizon. simplifying assumptions: The Earth is flat. The Earth does not rotate. The path that the projectile should travel is 'along' the shortest...

Ok so If I was to fire at a point 1.1.1N by 1.1.1E from point 1.3.2N by 1.3.2E where 0.0.1 lat and long was equal to 10m The first step is to find distance to target, with a 1.210 km difference for both latitude and longitude, added togeather and divided by 2 equals 1210. Thats not...

I'm a little lost again, is (20) the angle of traverse you would shoot for? So to find distance would be: T1-A1=X T2-A2=Y Xdeg = Xmeters Ydeg = Ymeters X+Y=D D/2=R Angle of elevation: d=\frac{v^2 \sin (2\theta)}{2g} Where 20 is the degree upwards Angle of traverse...

Thanks again Nate, So when I find the distance, how would I find the degree horizontally? Slope? How would I find the slope of the line?

Thnaks for the reply, this is a project of mine. Two more questions, and I'll leave you alone :) 1. What information would I need to find the great circle that contains the target and the artillery? 2. The area that I'd be in woulden't be longer than 30km N-S, and 80km EW. Located...

I was wondering if yall could help me out with creating some formulas to use in an artillery simulation. I'm barly in HS and this sort of thing blows me out of the water. Theres 3 parts you need, I have the first mostly figured out. You are given the latitude and longitude of both your...
