A fireworks show is choreographed to have two shells cross paths at a height of 103 ft and explode at an apex of 152 ft under normal weather conditions. The shells have launched angle theta = 50° above the horizontal. If a strong wind induces a constant rightward acceleration of 16 ft/s² for the fireworks shells, determine the horizontal shift ▲x of the crossing point of the shells.
