Four bodies \(P\), \(Q\), \(R\) and \(S\) are projected with equal velocities having angles of projection \(15^{\circ},\) \(30^{\circ},\)\(45^{\circ},\) and \(60^{\circ}\) with the horizontal respectively. The body having the shortest range is? 

A stone projected with a velocity \(u\) at an angle \(\theta\) with the horizontal reaches maximum height \(H_1.\) When it is projected with velocity \(u\) at an angle \(\left(\frac{\pi}{2}-\theta\right)\) with the horizontal, it reaches maximum height \(H_2.\) The relation between the horizontal range of the projectile \(R\) and \(H_1\) and \(H_2\) is: 

Which of the following sets of factors will affect the horizontal distance covered by an athlete in a long–jump event?
