Let the angle of the incline = A. (instead of x , as given)Let the cabin travel with an instantaneous velocity u1 up the incline at the instant the ball is thrown up at Origin (0,0) with a velocity u2 perpendicularly.Deceleration of ball in direction perpendicular to incline: - g cos ATime to reach the max. height wrt incline = u2/(g cos A)Maximum height wrt incline: u2² /(2 g cos A)For the range, we take the difference between the displacements of ball and origin when the ball meets the floor/incline.Displacement of the ball: x = (u1 Cos A - u2 Sin A) t y = (u1 sin A + u2 Cos A) t - 1/2 * g t^2For the ball to meet the incline/floor of cabin, y = x * tan ASubstituting that we get: t = (2 u2 Sec A) / gDisplacement along incline of the ball at t: x sec A = (u1 - u2 tan A) tIn time t, the displacement of the cabin: u1 t + 1/2 * g sin A t^2 Range of ball relative to cabin = difference of both displ. = (u2 tan A + 1/2 g t sin A) * tEquating relative max height and relative range: u2^2 / (2g cos A) = (u2 tanA + g/2 SinA*2 u2 secA /g)*2 u2 secA /g = 4 tan A u^2 sec A / g => Cot A = 8
