You set the velocity so that it would achieve the max range at a 45 degree launch angle, then you put in a limit of the ceiling and increase the launch angle until it hits the ceiling.<br /><br />Delta in the link I gave had a link to an online trajectory calculator which you could use to check the figures.<br /><br />I've since wondered what effect it would have if you threw from 6' and had to hit at least 3' off the floor, and the only effect would be to lower the 80' at 10' ceiling to 60', which I don't think is worth sweating over.Joe Nuttallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02395295081337987607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3092603842974378319.post-54530764929503194882015-09-04T14:53:15.155-07:002015-09-04T14:53:15.155-07:00I'm surprised at your results.
