physics kinematics question. HELP!?

i've been attempting to solve this qn for the past hour. can someone help me? thank you!

(it's qn 3 on my worksheet http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu60/greyedbox/...

An antitank gun is located on the edge of a plateau that is 60 m above the surrounding plain. The gun crew sights an enemy tank stationary on the plain at a horizontal distance of 2.2 km from the gun. At the same moment, the tank crew sees the gun and starts to move directly away from it with an acceleration of 0.90 m/s2.

If the antitank gun fires a shell with a muzzle speed of 240 m/s at an elevation of 10deg. above the horizontal, how long should the gun crew wait before firing if they are to hit the tank?
