If we neglect air resistance, then the range of a ball (or any projectile) shot at an angle 0 with respect to the x axis and with an initial velocity vo, is given by R(8)=Yo sin(20) for 0 ses4 where g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 meters per second per second). For what value of 0 is the maximum range attained? (Note that the answer is numerical, not symbolic.)
