Projectile Motion Example Problem 2.

Projectile Motion Example Problem 2 An iron worker on the ground tosses a rivet at 10 m/s at a bucket of rivets on a scaffold. Determine the two launch angles at which the rivet can be thrown to strike the rim of the bucket. Specify which launch angle will enable the rivet to land in the bucket.
Though two trajectories are possible for the rivet to strike the rim of the bucket, only the higher trajectory, with launch angle q1 = 76.8º , will allow the rivet to land in the bucket.
