A ball is thrown eastward across level ground. A wind blows horizontally to the east and assume that the effect of wind is to provide a constant force towards the east, equal in magnitude to the weight of the ball. The angle (with horizontal east) at which the ball should be projected so that it travels maximum horizontal distance is
