In the absence of air resistance, a projectile that lands at theelevation from which it was launched achieves maximum range whenlaunched at a 45∘ angle. Suppose a projectile of mass m is launchedwith speed v0 into a headwind that exerts a constant, horizontalretarding force F⃗ wind =−Fwindi^.

By what percentage is the maximum range of a 0.600 kg ballreduced if Fwind = 0.100 N ?
