A particle moving in a circle of radius R with a uniform speed takes a time T to complete one revolution. If this particle were projected with the same speed at an angle ' ' to the horizontal, the maximum height attained by it equals 4R. The angle of projection, , is then given by :

1. = -1 ( 2gT2 2 R )1/2
2. = -1 ( gT2 2 R )1/2
3. = -1 ( 2 RgT2 )1/2
4. = -1 ( 2 RgT2 )1/2
