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//s^(2) `. At the same instant a stone is projected from the origin with a velocity `vec(u)` as shown . A stationary person on the ground observes the stone hitting the object during its downward motion at an angle ` 45(@)` to the horizontal . All the motions are in the ` X -Y `plane . Find ` vec(u)` and the time after which the stone hits the object . Take ` g = 10 m//s`

Answer

`u = 7.29 m//s, t = 1s`.
