Using simple kinematics, the range
R = vt =
2gh
2(H − h)
g
R = 2
h(H −h) (4)
(b) In (4) R is unchanged if we replace h by H − h. Therefore, the second
hole must be punched at a depth H −h to get the same range.
9.18 From prob. (9.17)
R = 2
h(H −h) (1)
Maximum range is obtained by setting dR/dh = 0 and holding H as constant.
This gives h = H/2 and substituting this value in (1), we get R
max
= H.

v =
√
2gx . As the water flows out, the level of water comes down, Fig. 9.8.
