Kinematics with Electrostatics!

A particle with mass 3 kg 3 \text{ kg} and charge + 2 C +2 \text{ C} is launched with initial speed 2 m/s 2 \text{ m/s} from the top of a tower at height H = 5 m \displaystyle H=5m . The particle velocity initially makes a variable angle of θ \theta^\circ with the horizontal plane at the height such that 0 θ 90 0\leq\theta\leq90 .

There is a uniform ambient electric field with strength 6 N/C 6 \text{ N/C} , which points upwards with an angle of 6 0 60^\circ with respect to the horizontal plane at height H \displaystyle H . There is an ambient gravitational field of 10 m/s 2 10\text{ m/s}^2 in the downward, vertical direction.

If R m a x \displaystyle R_{max} represents the maximum possible Range of the particle (in meters), then evaluate R m a x \displaystyle R_{max} .
