A ball is launched eastward from the ground at 30kph at 45 degrees angle from the ground. A shooter will shoot the ball at the peak of its trajectory. The shooter is 50m away from the plane of the ball's trajectory. The launch point of the ball is 20m west from the plane of trajectory's nearest point to the shooter. The gun's muzzle is 1.2m from the ground and the exit velocity of the bullet is 2736kph. Determine the angle the gun should be shot and the time after the ball's launch should the gun's trigger be pulled. Neglect trigger to bullet exit time and air friction.

Question
A ball is launched eastward from the ground at 30kph at 45 degrees angle from the ground. A shooter will shoot the
ball at the peak of its trajectory. The shooter is 50m away from the plane of the ball's trajectory. The launch point of
the ball is 20m west from the plane of trajectory's nearest point to the shooter. The gun's muzzle is 1.2m from the
ground and the exit velocity of the bullet is 2736kph. Determine the angle the gun should be shot and the time after
the ball's launch should the gun's trigger be pulled. Neglect trigger to bullet exit time and air friction.
