A particle is projected from a tower of height $40\ m$ in horizontal direction. Due to wind a constant acceleration is provided to the particle opposite to its initial velocity. If particle hits the ground (at the bottom of the tower) at an angle $37^o$ with horizontal, then find acceleration provided by wind to the particle

A shell is fired at a speed of $200\ m/s$ at an angle of $37^o$ above horizontal from top of a tower $80\ m$  high. At the same instant another shell was fired from a jeep travelling away from the tower at a speed of $10\ m/s$ as shown. The velocity of this shell relative to jeep is $250\  m/s$ at an angle of $53^o$ with horizontal. Find the time (in $sec$) taken by the two shells to come closest.
