The artillery gun with a muzzle velocity of vo=150m/s is fired at the slope of the mountain at horizontal and vertical distance of 980m and 400m. The gun was shot at the smallest angle possible to achieve this goal. At the point where it hits the mountain the projectile trajectory makes, angle awith the horizontal angle. Find tan a to the nearest thousandth.
