8. You fire a ball with an initial speed of v at an angle o above the surface of an incline, which is itself inclined at an angle e above the horizontal. a) Find the distance, measured along the incline, from the launch point to the point when the ball strikes the incline. b) What angle o gives the maximum range, measured along the incline? Ignore air resistance.
