Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the given values
  • Initial velocity, \( u = 10 \, \text{m/s} \)
  • Angle of projection, \( \theta = 41^\circ \)
  • Acceleration due to gravity, \( g = 9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2 \)
Step 2: Break down the initial velocity into components
  • Horizontal component, \( u_x = u \cos \theta \)
  • Vertical component, \( u_y = u \sin \theta \)

Using the given values: \[ u_x = 10 \cos 41^\circ \] \[ u_y = 10 \sin 41^\circ \]

Step 3: Calculate the vertical component

\[ u_y = 10 \sin 41^\circ \] \[ u_y \approx 10 \times 0.6561 \] \[ u_y \approx 6.561 \, \text{m/s} \]

Step 4: Use the vertical motion equation to find the maximum height

The maximum height \( H \) can be found using the formula: \[ H = \frac{u_y^2}{2g} \]

Substitute the values: \[ H = \frac{(6.561)^2}{2 \times 9.8} \] \[ H = \frac{43.06}{19.6} \] \[ H \approx 2.197 \, \text{m} \]

Step 5: Convert the height from meters to centimeters

\[ H = 2.197 \, \text{m} \times 100 \, \text{cm/m} \] \[ H \approx 219.7 \, \text{cm} \]

Final Answer

\[ H \approx 219.7 \, \text{cm} \]
