3. A cannon on Earth (located at the origin) launches a projectile, of mass
m, horizontally at height y = 0 m with speed vo, as shown in the figure
below:
y (m) ↑
x (m)
Fw
There is a strong wind that imparts a force with constant magnitude Fw,
in the negative x-direction, on the projectile as it is airborne.
