Problem

Perpendicular to plane ** A hill is sloped downward at an angle β\beta with respect to the horizontal. A projectile is fired with an initial velocity perpendicular to the hill. When it eventually lands on the hill, let its velocity make an angle θ\theta with respect to the horizontal. What is θ\theta? What β\beta yields the minimum value of θ\theta? What is this minimum θ\theta?
