A shell is fired at a speed of $200\ m/s$ at an angle of $37^o$ above horizontal from top of a tower $80\ m$  high. At the same instant another shell was fired from a jeep travelling away from the tower at a speed of $10\ m/s$ as shown. The velocity of this shell relative to jeep is $250\  m/s$ at an angle of $53^o$ with horizontal. Find the time (in $sec$) taken by the two shells to come closest.

Two paper screens $A$ and $B$ are separated by a distance of $100\,m$. A bullet pierces $A$ and then $B$. The hole in $B$ is $10\,cm$ below the hole in $A$. If the bullet is travelling horizontally at the time of hitting $A$, then the velocity of the bullet at $A$ is $.......\,m / s$

A ball is thrown from the location $\left(x_0, y_0\right)=(0,0)$ of a horizontal playground with an initial speed $v_0$ at an angle $\theta_0$ from the $+x$-direction. The ball is to be hit by a stone, which is thrown at the same time from the location $\left(x_1, y_1\right)=(L, 0)$. The stone is thrown at an angle $\left(180-\theta_1\right)$ from the $+x$-direction with a suitable initial speed. For a fixed $v_0$, when $\left(\theta_0, \theta_1\right)=\left(45^{\circ}, 45^{\circ}\right)$, the stone hits the ball after time $T_1$, and when $\left(\theta_0, \theta_1\right)=\left(60^{\circ}, 30^{\circ}\right)$, it hits the ball after time $T_2$. In such a case, $\left(T_1 / T_2\right)^2$ is. . . . .
