A drone is navigating a 3D wind field where the air density is given by ρ(x,y,z)=100−x2−2y2−3z2\rho(x,y,z) = 100 - x^2 - 2y^2 - 3z^2ρ(x,y,z)=100−x2−2y2−3z2. The drone is currently at the point P(2,1,1)P(2, 1, 1)P(2,1,1). To maintain its current density, it must move in a direction tangent to the level surface of ρ\rhoρ. Among all such directions, find the unit vector u\mathbf{u}u that maximizes the drone's rate of altitude gain (the zzz-component of its motion).
