Hello Student,
y=13=vsintheta*t-1/2gt^2
x=50=vcostheta*t
we need to find dtheta/dt
from 1stequation
0=vcostheta*t*dtheta/dt+vsintheta-gt
from second eq.
0=-vsintheta*t*dtheta/dt+vcostheta
we need to do dtheta/dt=0
=>vcostheta=0 but it isn’t possible
and vsintheta-gt=0
=>sintheta=gt/v
Thanks & Regards
