Gun sights are adjusted to aim high to compensate for the effect of gravity, effectively making the gun accurate only for a specific range. If a gun is sighted to hit targets that are at the same height as the gun and 75 m away at the same height, how low, as a positive number in meters, will the bullet hit if aimed directly at a target 165 m away? The muzzle velocity of the bullet is 275 m/s.
