1.
Let OAB be the inclined plane making an angle \(\alpha\) to the horizontal and let the projectile hit it at a point A where OA = r (Fig.).
At the instant the projectile hits the inclined plane, its horizontal and vertical displacements are ON (= r cos \(\alpha\)) and NA (= r sin \(\alpha\)) respectively.
Now the time taken to cover a horizontal distance r cos \(\alpha\) is clearly r cos \(\alpha\)/ v cos \(\theta\). The vertical distance moved in this time being r sin \(\alpha\), we have
\(r \ sin \alpha=(v \ sin \theta)({r \ cos \alpha \over v \ cos \theta})-{1\over2}g({r \ cos \alpha\over v cos \theta})^2\)
or \(r(sin \alpha - tan \theta cos \alpha)=-{1\over2}g{\cos^2\alpha\over v^2 \cos^2 \theta }r^2\)
\(\therefore r={2v^2cos^2\theta\over g \ cos^2 \alpha}[tan \theta cos \alpha-sin \alpha]\)
\(={2v^2cos^2\theta\over g \ cos^2 \alpha}[{sin \theta cos \alpha-cos \theta sin \alpha\over cos \theta}]\)
\(={2v^2cos^2\theta\over g \ cos^2 \alpha} sin (\theta - \alpha)\)
Thus the range of the projectile on the inclined plane is
\(={2v^2cos^2\theta\over g \ cos^2 \alpha} sin (\theta - \alpha)\)
The time at which the projectile hits the inclined plane being (r cos \(\alpha\) / v cos \(\theta\)), we have
\(t={r \ cos \alpha \over v \ cos \theta}={2v^2cos\theta\over g \ cos^2\alpha} sin (\theta - \alpha){cos \alpha\over v cos \theta}\)
or \(t={2 \ v \ sin (\theta - \alpha)\over g \ cos \alpha}\)
A confirmation of these results is obtained by putting \(\alpha\) = 0 for which case we get
\(r={2 \ v^2 cos \theta \ sin \theta \over g}={v^2sin 2\theta\over g}and \ t={2 \ v \ sin \theta \over g}\)
the usual expressions for the range and time of flight of a projectile.
2.
Let AB be the tower of height H and 0 the point of projection at a horizontal distance r from A as shown in Fig. Let u and \(\theta\) be the speed and the angle of projection of the ball.
The ball will go just grazing past the top edge of the tower if r equals the horizontal range of the projectile, i.e., if
\(r=u \ cos \theta .{2u \ sin \theta \over g}={u^2 \ sin 2\theta \over g}\)
Thus r, U and \(\theta\) must be related according to the relation
g r = u2 sin 2\(\theta\)
At point A, the velocity of the ball is again u at an angle \(\theta\) to the horizontal. The horizontal distance x at which the ball strikes the ground from the foot of the tower is the horizontal distance covered with a horizontal velcoity u cos\(\theta\) in the time the ball falls vertically through a distance H starting with an initial vertically downward velocity u sin \(\theta\)and having a vertically downward acceleration g. If t is this time, we have
H=(u sin \(\theta\)) t + \({1\over2}g \ t^2\)
or g t2 + 2 u sin \(\theta\) t - 2H = 0
or t= \({-2 u sin \theta \pm \sqrt{4 \ u^2 sin ^2 \theta +8g H}\over 2g}\)
or t= \({-2 u sin \theta \pm 2\sqrt{ \ u^2 sin ^2 \theta +2g H}\over 2g}\)
t= \({1\over g}[{-u \ sin \theta \pm \sqrt{ \ u^2 sin ^2 \theta +2g H}}]\)
Thus \(x=u \ cos \theta \ t={u \ cos \theta \over g}[\sqrt{ \ u^2 sin ^2 \theta +2g H}-u\ sin \theta]\)
The angle of projection \(\theta\) for which x is minimum for a given value of u is given by
\({dx\over d \theta}=0\)
Thus, \({u \ cos \theta \over g}[{u^22sin \theta cos \theta \over \sqrt{u^2sin ^2\theta+2 \ g \ H}}-u \ cos \theta]+[\sqrt{u^2sin^2\theta+2 \ g H}-u \ sin \ \theta] ({-u \ sin \theta\over g})=0\)
or \({u^2sin2 \theta cos \theta \over \sqrt{gu^2sin ^2\theta+2 \ g \ H}}-{u \ cos^2 \theta \over g}-{ \ sin \theta\over g}\sqrt {u^2sin^2\theta+2 \ g H}+{u \ sin^2 \theta\over g}=0\)
or\({u^2sin 2\theta cos \theta \over \sqrt{u^2sin ^2\theta+2 \ g \ H}}- sin \theta \sqrt {u^2sin^2\theta+2 \ g H}-u \ cos 2 \theta=0\)
or \({u^2sin \theta cos \theta}- sin \theta \sqrt {u^2sin^2\theta+2 \ g H}-u \ cos 2 \theta\sqrt{u^2sin ^2\theta+2 \ g \ H}=0\)
The angle of projection for which x is minimum is a solution of this equation.
3.
Let two vectors \(\vec{A}\) and \(\vec{B}\) be acting simultaneously at a particle, inclined at an angle \(\theta\) from one another. The magnitude of resultant vector \(\vec{R}\) is given by
\(R=\sqrt{A^2+B^2+2AB \ cos \theta}\)
If the resultant vector subtends an angle B from the direction of \(\vec{A}\), then
\(tan \beta ={B \ sin \theta\over A+B \ cos \theta}\)
There are three special cases which are as follows
(i) If \(\theta\) = 0° i.e., vectors \(\vec{A}\)and \(\vec{B}\) are acting in same direction, then cos \(\theta\) = cos 0° = 1 and sin \(\theta\) = sin 0° = 0. Hence,
\(R=\sqrt{A^2+B^2+2AB (1)}=A+B\)
and \(tan \beta ={B \times (0)\over A+B (1)}=0 or \beta=tan ^{-1}(0)=0^0\)
Thus the magnitude of resultant vector is equal to the sum of the magnitudes of \(\vec{A}\) and \(\vec{B}\) and the resultant vector acts in the direction of \(\vec{A}\) or \(\vec{B}\).
(ii) If \(\theta\) = 180°, i.e., vectors \(\vec{A}\) and \(\vec{B}\) are acting in mutually opposite direction, then
cos \(\theta\) = cos 180° = - 1 and sin \(\theta\) = sin 180° = 0.
\(\therefore R=\sqrt{A^2+B^2+2AB (-1)}= \sqrt{A^2+B^2+2AB}=(A-B)\)
and \(tan \beta ={B \times (0)\over A+B \times(1)}=0 or \beta=tan ^{-1}(0)=0^0 \ or \ 180^o.\)
Hence the magnitude of resultant vector is equal to the difference of the magnitudes of \(\vec{A}\) and \(\vec{B}\) and the resultant vector acts in the direction of bigger of two vectors \(\vec{A}\) or \(\vec{B}\).
(iii) If\(\theta\) = 90° i.e., vectors \(\vec{A}\) and \(\vec{B}\) are in mutually perpendicular directions, then cos \(\theta\) = cos 90° = 0 and sin \(\theta\)= sin 90° = 1
\(\therefore R=\sqrt{A^2+B^2+2AB (0)}= \sqrt{A^2+B^2}\)
and \(tan \beta ={B \times (1)\over A+B .(0)}={B\over A}\)
Thus, the magnitude of resultant vector is R =\(\sqrt{A^2+B^2}\) and it subtends an angle \(\beta\) from \(\vec{A}\) such that tan\(\beta={B\over A}\) .

(i) The path followed by the motorist will be a closed hexagonal path.
Suppose the motorist starts his journey from the point O. He takes the turn at the point C.
Displacement = \(\overset\rightarrow{OC}\)
Here OC = \(\sqrt { \left( OB \right) ^{ 2 }+\left( BC \right) ^{ 2 } } =\sqrt { \left( OF+FB \right) ^{ 2 }+\left( BC \right) ^{ 2 } } \)
= \(\sqrt { \left( 500cos\quad 30^{ 0 }+500cos30^{ 0 } \right) ^{ 2 }+(500)^{ 2 } } \)
=\(\sqrt { \left( 2\times 500\times \frac { \sqrt { 3 } }{ 2 } \right) ^{ 2 }+(500)^{ 2 } } \)
= 500\(\sqrt{4}\) = 1000 m = 1 km
Total path length= 500 m + 500 m + 500 m = 1500 m = 1.5 km
\(\frac{Magnitude \ of\ displacement}{Total\ path \ length}\)=\(\frac{1}{1.5}\)=\(\frac{2}{3}\)=0.
(ii) The motorist will take the sixth turn at O.
Displacement is zero. So, displacement vector is a null vector.
Path length is 3000 m, i.e., 3 km.
Ratio of magnitude of displacement and path length is zero.
(iii) The motorist will take the 8th turn at B.
Magnitude of displacement = 2 x 500 cos 30°= 500\(\sqrt{3m}\)=\(\frac { \sqrt { 3 } }{ 2 } \) km = 0.866 km
Path length = 8 x 500 m = 4 km
Ratio of magnitude of displacement and path length is \(\frac { \sqrt { 3 } /2 }{ 4 } \)i.e.,\(\frac { \sqrt { 3 } }{ 2 } \) = 0.22

The vector vb representing the velocity of the motorboat and the vector vc representing the water current are shown in directions specified by the problem. Using the parallelogram method of addition, the resultant R is obtained in the direction shown in the figure.
We can obtain the magnitude of R using the Law of cosine
\(R=\sqrt{v_{\mathrm{b}}^{2}+v_{\mathrm{c}}^{2}+2 v_{\mathrm{b}} v_{\mathrm{c}} \cos 120^{\circ}}\)
\(=\sqrt{25^{2}+10^{2}+2 \times 25 \times 10(-1 / 2)} \cong 22 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{h}\)
To obtain the direction, we apply the Law of sines
\(\frac{R}{\sin \theta}=\frac{v_{c}}{\sin \phi} \text { or, } \sin \phi=\frac{v_{c}}{R} \sin \theta\)
\(=\frac{10 \times \sin 120^{\circ}}{21.8}=\frac{10 \sqrt{3}}{2 \times 21.8} \cong 0.397\)
\(\phi \cong 23.4^{\circ}\)
8.
Given, A = 20 N, B = 20 N, R = 30 N, \(\theta \) = ?
\(R=\sqrt { { A }^{ 2 }+{ B }^{ 2 }+2AB\cos { \theta } }\)
\( \\ 30=\sqrt { { 2 }0^{ 2 }+{ 2 }0^{ 2 }+2\times 20\times 20\cos { \theta } } \)
\(\\ \cos { \theta } =\frac { { 30 }^{ 2 }-{ 2 }0^{ 2 }-{ 2 }0^{ 2 } }{ 2\times { 2 }0^{ 2 } } =0.125\)
\( \Rightarrow \quad \theta ={ 82 }^{ 0 }{ 49 }^{ ' }\)
9.
(i) The maximum height attained by the ball is
\({ H }_{ m }=\frac { ({ \nu }_{ 0 }sin{ \theta }_{ 0 })^{ 2 } }{ 2g } \)
\(\\ =\frac { (28sin30^{ \circ })^{ 2 } }{ 2(9.8) } =\frac { 14\times 14 }{ 2\times 9.8 } =10.0\quad m\)
(ii) The time taken by the ball to return the same level is
\(T=\left( { 2\nu }_{ 0 }sin\theta _{ 0 } \right) /g=(2\times 28\times sin30^{ \circ })/9.8\)
\(=28/9.8=2.9s\)
(iii) The distance from the thrower to the point where the ball returns to the same level is
\(R=\frac { \left( { \nu }_{ 0 }^{ 2 }sin2\theta _{ 0 } \right) }{ g } =\frac { 28\times 28\times sin60^{ \circ } }{ 9.8 } =69m\)
10.
\(\theta ={ 30 }^{ \circ },u=20m/s,g=10m/s^{ 2 }\)
\(\\ H=\frac { u^{ 2 }\sin { ^{ 2 }\theta } }{ 2g } =\frac { (20)^{ 2 }\times \sin { ^{ 2 }30^{ \circ } } }{ 2\times 10 } =5m\)
