A gun can fire shells with maximum speed $v_0$ and the maximum horizontal range that can be achieved is $\text{R}=\frac{\text{v}^2_0}{\text{g}}.$
If a target farther away by distance $\Delta\text{x}$ (beyond R) has to be hit with the same gun (Fig), show that it could be achieved by raising the gun to a height at least $\text{h}=\Delta\text{x}\Big[1+\frac{\Delta\text{x}}{\text{R}}\Big]$ (Hint: This problem can be approached in two different ways:

- Refer to the diagram: target T is at horizontal distance $\text{x}=\text{R}+\Delta\text{x}$ and below point of projection y = – h.
- From point P in the diagram: Projection at speed $v_0$ at an angle $\theta$ below horizontal with height h and horizontal range $\Delta\text{x}$.)
