Let the height of tower be H and Maximum Range be R.

Writing the trajectory Equation,

Let us take origin at the top of the tower, then coordinates of the landing points are (R,-H)

Thus the trajectory equation becomes:

Now , for maximum range , we know that must be zero and H is anyway a constant (doesn͛t

In our current problem, ɽ=30o, u=10m/s , g=10m/s2

Using this in 3 we get:

Using this in (1) and solving for H, we get:
