    If the range of a gun which fires a shell with muzzle speed \[V\] is \[R\], then the angle of elevation of the gun is            [AMU 1995]

    A)             \[{{\cos }^{-1}}\left( \frac{{{V}^{2}}}{Rg} \right)\]

    B)               \[{{\cos }^{-1}}\left( \frac{gR}{{{V}^{2}}} \right)\]

    C)             \[\frac{1}{2}\left( \frac{{{V}^{2}}}{Rg} \right)\]

    D)               \[\frac{1}{2}{{\sin }^{-1}}\left( \frac{gR}{{{V}^{2}}} \right)\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                    \[R=\frac{{{v}^{2}}\sin 2\theta }{g}\] Þ \[\theta =\frac{1}{2}{{\sin }^{-1}}\left( \frac{gR}{{{v}^{2}}} \right)\]
