Homework Statement
Muzzle velocity at A = Vo. Determine the two angles, theta 1 and theta 2.
A is separated from B by a distance L in the x direction and a height H. (B is on a hill above A).
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
I feel that the important facts of this problem is that sin(theta1)Vo * t1 - gt1^2 = sin ( theta2 )Vo * t2 - gt2^2, since the y displacement for both projectiles are identical. Similarly, we have that the x projectiles are the same, so that cos (theta1 )Vo * t1 = cos ( theta 2 )Vo * t2.
With these equations, I have two variables two equations, but I cannot figure out how/if it is possible to solve these to isolate a variable. I am guessing that there is probably an easier way to do this, so a small hint would be greatly appreciated!
thanks guys.
