Physics - Kinematics

by Krishnan G -

From a certain tower of unknown height, it is found that the maximum range of R at a certain projection velocity u is obtained for a projection angle of θ. Derive u in terms of R, g and θ.

Answer is given as      u = √ [ R g tan θ ]

Please expalin.

Mathematics-Vectors

by Krishnan G -

If the vectors  a, b, c are co-planar, prove that the following determinant is zero.

Determinant first row: a,   b,   c

Determinant second row: a.a,   a.b,   a.c

Determinant third row: b.a,   b.b,   b.c

Note: Due to typing difficulty, the determinant is shown as above. Further, the vecor notation above a, b, c are not shown due to typing difficulty.
