Question
It was calculated that a shell when fired from a gun with a certain velocity and at an angle of elevation 
rad should strike a given target in the same horizontal plane. In actual practice, it was found that a hill just prevented the trajectory. At what angle of elevation should the gun be fired to hit the target.

θ1 = 
Another angle for same range is the complementary angle θ2
Then θ2 =
= 
⇒ θ2 = 
π ″D″ Ans.
