How can the speed for best angle of climb be derrived?

There is no analytical way to find the solution. However, the solution can be found numerically or graphically.
The speed for best (maximum) angle of climb \(V_{BA}\) is found at the location of maximum excess thrust.

What is the Absolute Ceiling and the Service Ceiling?

The Absolute Ceiling marks the height, where the sustained ROC equals zero.
The Service Ceiling is defined by CS/FAR. It is the height where a ROC of 100ft/min can be sustained
