Shots are fired from the top of a tower and from its bottom simultaneously at angles $30^o$ and $60^o$ as shown. If the horizontal distance of the point of collision is at a distance $a$ from the tower,then the height of the tower $h$ is:

  • A
    $\frac{2a}{\sqrt{3}}$
  • B
    $\frac{a}{\sqrt{3}}$
  • C
    $2a$
  • D
    $\frac{4a}{\sqrt{3}}$

$A$ gun can fire shells with maximum speed $v_0$ and the maximum horizontal range that can be achieved is $R = \frac{v_0^2}{g}$. If a target farther away by distance $\Delta x$ (beyond $R$) has to be hit with the same gun,show that it could be achieved by raising the gun to a height at least $h = \Delta x \left[ 1 + \frac{\Delta x}{R} \right]$.
