Question Number 27033 by Tinkutara last updated on 01/Jan/18

Answered by mrW1 last updated on 01/Jan/18

((L/(2h)))^2 =(H/(H−h))=(H/(H−((3H)/4)))=4  ⇒L=4h

$$\left(\frac{{L}}{\mathrm{2}{h}}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} =\frac{{H}}{{H}−{h}}=\frac{{H}}{{H}−\frac{\mathrm{3}{H}}{\mathrm{4}}}=\mathrm{4} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{L}=\mathrm{4}{h} \\ $$

actually I used no physics formula.  we know the projectile is a parabola.  in the coordinate system shown  below we have  (y_2 /y_1 )=((x_2 /x_1 ))^2   y_1 =H−h=(H/4)  y_2 =H  x_1 =h  x_2 =(L/2)  ⇒4=((L/(2h)))^2   ⇒L=4h
