Recall that the Range equation gives the horizontal distance a projectile can be launched. Suppose there is a slight breeze so that the range equation is modified in the following way:
R(0) :
= sin(20) – 0.900
R
Part A
Use Calculus to determine the angle (in degrees) at which the projectile will reach its maximum range.
