Homework Statement
a projectile is launched at an angle [tex]\alpha[/tex] above the horizontal, from the top of a vertical cliff of height h above the ocean. It strikes a distance d from teh base of the cliff. Show that its maximum height is given by H2 +(d2/4)tan2[tex]\alpha[/tex]/(H+d tan[tex]\alpha[/tex]) neglecting air resistance and Coriolis effect
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
Hint: First express the initial speed in terms of the givens, i believe this to be V initial2/g since that gives you a distance. Just don't know what else to do
