A fighter plane flying horizontally at an altitude of 1.5 km with speed `720 km//h` passes directly overhead an anti-aircraft gun. At what angle from the vertical should the gun be fired for the shell with muzzle speed `600 m s^-1` to hit the plane ? At what minimum altitude should the pilot fly the plane to avoid being hit ? (Take g = `10 ms^2`).

A current of 10 A flow around a closed path in a circuit which is in the horizontal plane as shown in the figure. The circuit consists of eight alternative arcs of radii r_(1)=0.08m and r_(2)=0.12m . Each subtends the same angle at the centre. An infinitely long straight wire carrying a current of 10 A is passing throgh the entre of the above circuit vertically with the direction of the current being into the plane of the circuit. What is the force acting on the wire at the centre due to the current in the circuit? What is the force acting on the arc AC and the straight segment CD due to the current at the centre?
