Range, R = 3 kmAngle of projection, θ = 30°Acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s2Horizontal range for the projection velocity u0, is given by the relation:R = u02 Sin 2θ / g3 = u02 Sin 600 / gu02 / g = 2√3 …….(i)The maximum range (Rmax) is achieved by the bullet...

R=U²sin2@/g U=√(R×g/sin2@) U=√(3000×9.8/sin60°) U=184.25 For maximum range@=45° R (max)=U/g=3464 So it is not possible to reach the bullet on given target
