A packet of 150kg is released from an air plane travelling due east at an altitude of 7200 m with a ground speed of 100 m/s. The wind applies a constant force on the packet of 300 N directed horizontally in the opposite direction to the plane's flight path. Where and when does the packet hit the ground, (with respect to the release location and time)
