At the height $80\ m$, an aeroplane is moving with $150\ m/s$. A bomb is dropped from it so as to hit a target. At what distance from the target should be bomb be dropped $($Given$\ g = 10\ m/s^{2})$

(a) The horizontal distance covered by the bomb,
$BC = \upsilon_{H} 	imes \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}} = 150\sqrt{\frac{2 	imes 80}{10}} = 600\ m$
$	herefore$ The distance of target from dropping point of bomb,
$AC = \sqrt{AB^{2} + BC^{2}\ } = \sqrt{(80)^{2} + (600)^{2}} = 605.3\ m$
