Physics: Need to find the angle that gives maximum range

with initial speed 38 m/s. Some members of the class think a 45 degrees launch angle will give the maximum range, but others claim the cliff height makes a difference.What do you give for the angle that will maximize the range?-35.2° will give Rmax = 208.......

Your medieval history class is constructing a trebuchet, a catapultlike weapon for hurling stones at enemy castles. The plan is to launch stones off a 74 meter high cliff, with initial speed 38 m/s. Some members of the class think a 45 degrees launch angle will give the maximum range, but others claim the cliff height makes a difference.

What do you give for the angle that will maximize the range?

35.2° will give Rmax = 208.611 m
