Shots fired simultaneously from the top and foot of a vertical cliff at elevation of 30 degree and 60 degree respectively, strike an object simultaneously which is at height of 100 m. from the ground and at a horizontal distance of 200√3m. from the cliff. Find the height of the cliff. Find the height of the cliff, the velocities of projection of the shots and the time taken by the shots to hit the object.(g=10m/sec.)How to solve dis question? (g= 10m/s²)

the height comes out as 100 m itself,as there is only one point common to both trajectories of 30 and 60degree
the velocities now can be obtained from the equations of projectile motion...as u can substitute range as 200(root)3and solve for the remaining variables...hope this helps
