The optimal angle of elevation θ that a shot-putter should aim for in order to throw the greatest distance depends on the velocity v of the throw and the initial height h of the shot. See Figure 1. One model for θ that achieves this greatest distance is θ=arcsin(*all under squareroot* v2 / 2v2 +64h) Suppose a shot-putter can consistently release the steel ball with velocity v of 32 ft per sec from an initial height h of 6.0 ft. What angle, to the nearest degree, will maximize the distance?
