Problem

If a projectile is fired from the origin of the coordinate system with an initial velocity v0v_0 and in a direction making an angle α\alpha with the horizontal, calculate the time required for the projectile to cross a line passing through the origin and making an angle β<α\beta < \alpha with the horizontal.
