The slope of a mountain makes an angle of 45° with the horizontal. At the base of this mountain, a cannon is fired at an angle 0 with the horizontal, where 45° < 0 < 90°, and with initial velocity of v m/sec. Neglecting air resistance, the distance R (in meters) it drops on the slope of the mountain from the base is given by R = -(sin 0 – cos 0) cos 0, where g is the acceleration due to gravity in m/sec?. Express this formula for R in terms of 20.
