Two shots are projected from a gun at the top of a hill with the same velocity u at angles of projection `alpha` and `beta` respectively. If the shots strike the horizontal ground through the foot of the hill at the same point, show that the height h of the hill above the plane is given by :
`h = (2u^(2)(1-tan alpha tan beta))/(g(tan alpha+tan beta)^(2))`
