Launch Velocity of a Projectile formula

\( v_0 =   \sqrt{  R \; g \;/\; sin\; 2 \;( \theta ) }  \) 
Symbol English Metric
\( v_0 \) = launch velocity \(ft\;/\;sec\) \(m\;/\;s\)
\( R \) = horizontal range \(ft\) \(m\)
\( g \) = gravitational acceleration \(ft\;/\;sec^2\) \(m\;/\;s^2\)
\( \theta \) = vertical angle \(deg\) \( rad \)
