The drawing shows an exaggerated view of a rifle that has been ‘sighted in' for a 91.4-meter target. If the muzzle speed of the bullet is v0 = 475 m/s, there are the two possible angles θ1 and θ2 between the rifle barrel and the horizontal such that the bullet will hit the target. One of these angles is so large that it is never used in target shooting. Give your answers as (a) the smaller angle and (b) the larger angle. (Hint: The following trigonometric identity may be useful: 2 sinθ cosθ = sin 2θ.)

I have been able to get to sin2θ = (9.8m/s^2) (91.4m) / (475 m/s)^2 but i am not sure what to do from here and keep getting the answer wrong.

The drawing shows an edge-on view of two planar surfaces that intersect and are mutually perpendicular. Surface 1 has an area of 1.5 m2, while surface 2 has an area of 3.4 m2. The electric field E in the drawing is uniform and has a magnitude of 190 N/C. It is directed towards the two perpendicular surfaces, making an angle 35o with the bottom surface. Find the electric flux through (a) surface 1 and (b) surface 2.
