    What is the optimal angle for shooting a cannon?

    Im talking about an idealized situation where the cannon balls are the same and the air is exactly the same. Anyone else have an opinion?

    What is the optimal angle for shooting a cannon?

    wanna explain how u got that one. It shouldn't depend on anything except gravity mabye and the air resistance possibly. (assuming we are talking about only 1 type of cannon ball)

    What is the optimal angle for shooting a cannon?

    I was trying to figure out the best angle to shoot a cannon, with air resistance in the differential equation. I came up with ~36.5 degrees, is that right?

    Mixing Solutions: Problems & Solutions Explained

    Sample: A swimming pool whose volume is 10,000 gal contains water that is .01% chlorine. Starting at t=0, city water containing .001% Cl is pumped in at 5 gal/min. The pool water flows out at the same rate. What is the % of chlorine in the pool after 1 hr? When will the pool be .002% Cl ?

    Mixing Solutions: Problems & Solutions Explained

    Can anyone help me out with mixing solution problems, I know its not that hard I just am having trouble understanding what to do. Sometimes its X sometimes its X/volume of the tank. Can anyone explain it to me in a simple way?

    Spherical tank proportion question

    ok, thanks, that's making sense now. so if I go (pi)*(r^2) with r equal to what we just came up with, I get the cross sectional area of the water at any time , right?

    Spherical tank proportion question

    r=Sqrt((R^2) - ((r-h)^2) ) is that right? Even then the curvature is greater near the bottom?

    Spherical tank proportion question

    it's changing at a non constant rate if the water goes down. I can't see how pythagorian thm applies. I know how to do a conic tank, but it seems liek I would need to use the circles equation here for one of the sides, mabye the hypotenues, is that right?

    Spherical tank proportion question

    I need to know how to figure out "r" in this picture from "R" and "h". It is some kind of proportion or integral I'm guessing, but I can;t think of it. "R" is the radius of a spherical tank. "r" is the radius of the water level (not the same as "R") "h" is the height of the water level. Here...
