A cannon fire...

Question

A cannon fires two shells successively in the same plane with velocity u, the first shell at an angle of alpha to the horizontal and the second shell at an angle of beta to the horizontal, if the two shells collide with each other during their flights, obtain an expression for the time interval between the firings of the shells

Q. A cannon fires successively two shells with velocity

v_{0} = 250 m / s

; the first at the angle

θ_{1} = 60^{\circ}

and the second at the angle

θ_{2} = 45^{\circ}

g = 10 m / s^{2}

and round-off your answer to the nearest integer.)
