# A cannon fires projectiles on a flat range at a fixed speed but with variable angle. The maximum range of the cannon is \(L\). What is the range of the cannon when it fires at an angle of \(30^\circ\) above the horizontal? Ignore air resistance.

A cannon fires projectiles on a flat range at a fixed speed but with variable angle. The maximum range of the cannon is \(L\). What is the range of the cannon when it fires at an angle of \(30^\circ\) above the horizontal? Ignore air resistance.

- **A.** \[\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}L\]
- **B.** \[\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}L\]
- **C.** \[\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}L\]
- **D.** \[\frac{1}{2}L\]
- **E.** \[\frac{1}{3}L\]
