A team of professional thieves wants to knock down a castle wall using a primitive explosive. At their headquarters, they determine that the explosive has a mass of 40.0 kg and will break into three pieces: a 20.0 kg piece will go exactly east, a 10.0 kg piece will go exactly south, and a 10.0 kg piece will go somewhere. Find the speed and direction of the third piece of the explosive.
