Launching a projectile to cover maximal area
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 06 June 2019
Extract
The launch and subsequent motion of a projectile provide a context for several quantities that yearn to be optimised. Most notable is the horizontal range of the projectile, a problem dating back to Galileo and still studied in modern times; see, for example [1], [2], [3], [4]. In a different direction, the articles [5] and [6] provide a solution to the problem of finding the angle of launch that results in the trajectory of longest arc length.
