A gun is mounted on a gun carriage movable on a smooth plane the gun is elevated at an angle `alpha` to the horizontal . A shot, fired leaves the gun in a direction inclined at an angle `theta` to the horizontal . If the mass of the gum and its carriage be n times that of short , find `tan theta : tan alpha` .
