Question:

The English perfected the longbow as a weapon after the Medieval period. In the hands of a skilled archer, the longbow was reputed to be accurate at ranges to \(100 \mathrm{~m}\) or more. If the maximum altitude of an arrow is less than \(h=10 \mathrm{~m}\) while traveling to a target \(100 \mathrm{~m}\) away from the archer, and neglecting air resistance, estimate the speed and angle at which the arrow must leave the bow. Plot the required release speed and angle as a function of height \(h\).
