In a live fire exercise, an Army artillery team fires an artillery shell from a howitzer. The barrel of the howitzer makes a 54.0° angle above horizontal, and the speed of the shell upon exiting the barrel is 350 m/s. The shell hits a target on the
side of a mountain 35.5 s after firing. Assuming the point where the shell exits the barrel to be the origin, and assuming as usual that the x-axis is horizontal and the y-axis is vertical, find the x and y coordinates, in meters, of the target.
