Projectile Launch Angle formula

\(  \theta = \frac{ 1 }{ 2 } \; sin^{-1} \left( g\; d \;/\; v_0^2  \right) \) 
Symbol English Metric
\( \theta \) = angle of the initial vertical from x-axis \( deg \) \( rad \)
\( g \) = gravitational acceleration  \(ft\;/\;sec^2\)   \(m\;/\;s^2\)   
\( d \) = horizontal position \( ft \) \( m \)
\( v_0 \) = launch velocity \(ft\;/\;sec\)  \(m\;/\;s\)
