A cannonball is launched with initial velocity of magnitude $v_0$ over a horizontal surface. At what minimum angle $\theta_{min}$ above the horizontal should the cannonball be launched so that it rises to a height H which is larger than the horizontal distance R that it will travel when it returns to the ground?

(B) $72$
(C) $60$
(D) $45$
(E) There is no such angle, as R > H for all range problems.
