Problem
A 1.2kg quad-rotor drone experiences a constant horizontal wind force of 4.0N toward the east. Neglecting air resistance other than this wind, determine the vertical and north–south components of the thrust that the drone’s rotors must provide so the drone accelerates at 1.5m/s2 upward and 0.80m/s2 toward the north.
