Homework Statement
A projectile is to be launched so as to go from A to B [which are respectively at the bases of a double inclined plane having angles \alpha and \beta as seen in the figure] and just barely miss a pole of height H that is located at the tip. If the distance between A and B is D, find the angle with the horizontal at which the projectile should be launched.

The Attempt at a Solution
[PLAIN]http://b1111.hizliresim.com/r/k/llds.jpg
I found h=\frac{D\tan\alpha\tan\beta}{\tan\alpha+\tan\beta}
and I considered a particle which is at B is falling free.And Vo vector aimed to point B when t=0 , so they must collide at t=t_{collide} and at top of the H.
Then i wrote \tan\phi=\frac{1/2gt_{collide}^2+H+h}{\frac{D\tan\beta}{\tan\alpha+\tan\beta}}
and i found
\phi= \tan^-1(\frac{(1/2gt_{collide}^2+H)(\tan\alpha+\tan\beta)+D\tan \alpha \tan\beta}{D\tan\beta})
Is my answer is correct ? and are there any solutions for conditions which are before reaching maximum height and minumum height ?
