a body is projected at an angle 30 degree with the horizontal so that it's time of flight is 10 second . Find the speed of the projection of body.
Explanation:
(b)
The horizontal component of velocity is constant so we can write:
d

I'll set the point of launch to be the origin and use the convention that "up is +ve".
We can use:
s

This means that the top of the tower is 23 m above the ground.
