is described by the system of linear differential equations

(a) If the projectile is launched from level ground with an initial velocity v0 assumed to be tangent to its path of motion
or trajectory, then the initial conditions accompanying the
system are x(0) 0, x(0) v0 cos u, y(0) 0, y(0)
v0 sin u where v0 7 v0 7 the initial speed is constant and
u is the constant angle of elevation of the cannon. See
Figure 3.R.4 in The Paris Guns problem on page 204.
Use the Laplace transform to solve system (8).
(b) The solutions x(t) and y(t) of the system in part (a) are
parametric equations of the trajectory of the projectile.
By using x(t) to eliminate the parameter t in y(t) show that
the trajectory is parabolic.

Paris Guns problem on page 204, the effect that nonlinear air
resistance has on the trajectory of a cannon shell was examined
numerically. In this problem we consider linear air resistance
on a projectile.
(a) Suppose that air resistance is a retarding force tangent to
the path of the projectile but acts opposite to the motion.
If we take air resistance to be proportional to the velocity
of the projectile, then from Problem 24 of Exercises 3.12
the motion of the projectile is described by the system of
linear differential equations

Use (9) and (10) to find the horizontal range and maximum height of the projectile. Repeat with u 5 52 and
v0 300 ft/s.
(f ) Because formulas (9) and (10) are not valid in all cases
(see Problem 22), it will advantageous to you to remember
that the range and maximum height of a ballistic projectile
can be obtained by working directly with x(t) and y(t) that
is, by solving y(t) 0 and y(t) 0. The first equation
gives the time when the projectile hits the ground and the
second gives the time when y(t) is a maximum. Find these
times and verify the range and maximum height obtained
in part (e) for the trajectory with u 5 38 and v0 300 ft/s.
Repeat with u 5 52.

22. Range of a ProjectileWith Linear Air Resistance In The
From (9) we not only see that R is a maximum when u

p/4 but that a projectile launched at distinct complementary angles u and p/2 u has the same submaximum
range. See FIGURE 4.6.8. Use a trigonometric identity to
prove this last result.

(b) Suppose m 14 slug, g 32 ft/s2, b 0.02, u 5 38 and
v0 300 ft/s. Use a calculator or CAS to approximate the
time when the projectile hits the ground and then compute
x(t) to find its corresponding horizontal range.
(c) The complementary-angle property in part (c) of
Problem 21 does not hold when air resistance is taken
into consideration. To show this, repeat part (b) using the
complementary angle u 5 52 and compare the horizontal
range with that found in part (b).
(d) With m 14 slug, g 32 ft/s2, b 0.02, u 5 38 and v0
300 ft/s, use a graphing utility or CAS to plot the trajectory of the projectile defined by the parametric equations
x(t) and y(t). Repeat with u 5 52. Using different colors,
superimpose both of these curves along with the two curves
in part (g) of Problem 21 on the same coordinate system.
