A train is travelling on a straight horizontal track with a constant acceleration of 2 m/s2 across a bridge over a river. When the velocity of the train is 25 m/s, a man inside one of the cars throws a stone horizontally out of a window in a direction perpendicular to direction of motion of the train with a speed of 5 m/s relative to himself. In the absence of air resistance the stone hits the water at point P, 40 m in a horizontal direction from track. Consider point of projection as origin and cartesian coordinate system as shown in diagram. (Take g = 10 m/s2)
Based on above information answer the following questions.
At the instant when stone hits the water, the coordinate of car window from which stone is projected, is
