Homework Statement
A regular hexagon of side a=10√3 m is kept at horizontal surface as shown in the figure. A particle is projected with velocity V m/s at an angle θ from point k such that it will just touch the all four corners B,C,D,E. If O is the centre of hexagon and x-axis is parallel to horizontal and y-axis is perpendicular to AF and CD sides of hexagon then answer the following
A) Velocity of projectile at maximum height
The Attempt at a Solution
Let k be the origin. R be the range of projectile
Coordinates of B = (R/2 - a, a√3/2)
Coordinates of C = (R/2 - a/2, a√3)
Equation of trajectory : [itex]y=x \tan \theta \left(1-\dfrac{x}{R} \right) [/itex]
Satisfying the above coordinates does not give me the right answer.
