Dear Adeel
 
 

Height of the fighter plane = 1.5 km = 1500 m

Speed of the fighter plane, = 720 km/h = 200 m/s

Let θ be the angle with the vertical so that the shell hits the plane.

Muzzle velocity of the gun, u = 600 m/s

Time taken by the shell to hit the plane = t

Horizontal distance travelled by the shell = uxt

Distance travelled by the plane = vt

The shell hits the plane. Hence, these two distances must be equal.

uxt = vt

 

usinΘ = v

sinΘ = v/u

sinΘ = 200/600

       = 1/3

Θ = sin-1(0.33)

Θ = 19.5 degrees
