A projectile is required to hit a target whose co-ordinates relative to horizontal and vertical axes through the point of projection are (α,β). If the gun velocity is √2gα. Then the condition when it is impossible to hit the target.
4β>3α
β=α tan θ−12gα2u2cos2θβ=α tan θ−12gα22gα(1+tan2θ)tan2θ−4tanθ+(1+4βα)=0
If particle will not hit the target.
(b2−4ac)<016−4(1+4βα)<04β>3α
