An object A is kept fixed at the point x = 3 m and y = 1.25 m on a plank P raised above the ground. At time t = 0 the plank starts moving along the + x



direction with an acceleration 1.5 m/s2. At the same instant a stone is projected from the origin with a velocity vector u as shown. A stationary person on the ground observes the stone hitting the object during its downward motion at an angle of 45o to the horizontal. All the motions are in X-Y plane. Find vector u and the time after which the stone hits the object. Take g = 10 m/s2.
