A projectile is fired northward from a height of 243m. Assuming that the x-axis is pointing east, y-axis is pointing north and the z-axis is pointing up with z = 0 representing ground level. The projectile's initial velocity vector is v(0) = (0, 10, 48). In addition to a downward gravitational accel- eration of 9.8m/s², it experiences in flight an westward acceleration of 4m/s? due to the wind. Find the projectile's velocity and position vectors t seconds after the projectile is fired.
