Now try these problems on your own. The answers are in Chapter 23, starting on page 487. 8. The range of a projectile is

R=\frac{v_{0}{ }^{2} \sin 2 \theta}{g}

, where

v_{0}

is its initial velocity,

g

is the acceleration due to gravity and is a constant, and

\theta

is its firing angle. Find the angle that maximizes the projectile's range.
