Problem Statement

A coast artillery gun can fire at every angle of elevation between 00^{\circ} and 9090^{\circ} in a fixed vertical plane. If air resistance is neglected and the muzzle velocity is constant (=v0=v_0 ), determine the set HH of points in the plane and above the horizontal which can be hit.
