Question

In What If? section of Example 4.5, it was claimed that the maximum range of a ski jumper occurs for a launch angle  given by

 

where is the angle the hill makes with the horizontal in Figure 4.15? Prove this claim by deriving the equation above.

A ski jumper leaves the ski track moving in the horizontal direction with
a speed of 25.0 m/s as shown in Figure 4.15. The landing incline below
her falls off with a slope of 35.0°. Where does she land on the incline?
