Projectile Motion on an inline I, a baseball is given an initial velocity with magnitude Vo at an angle Φ above the surface of an incline, which is in turn inclined at an angle e above the horizontal (Fig. 3.55)
(a) Calculate the distance, measured along the incline, from the launch point to where the baseball strikes the incline. Your answer will be in terms of vo, g, e, and Φ.
(b) What angle Φ gives the maximum range, measured along the incline? (Note: You might be interested in the three different methods of solution presented by I. R. Lapidus in Amer. Jour. of Phys., Vol. 51 (1983), pp. 806 and 847 see also H. A. Buck master in Amer. Jour. of Phys., Vol. 53 (1985), pp. 638-Ml, for a thorough study of this and some sinti1arproblems.)
