1. Homework Statement : A gun is fired from a moving platform and the ranges of the shot are observed to be R and S
when the platform is moving forward or backward respectively with
velocity V. Prove that the elevation of the gun is tan(inverse)[g(R - S) ^ 2 / 4V ^ 2(R + S)]
2. Homework Equations : The three equations of motion and the equation for relative velocity.
3. The Attempt at a Solution : I am too confused with the "relative" velocity part. In all probability,we have to obtain a relation between R and S. I have no idea about this problem.
