An elevator, whose floor to ceiling distance is equal to 2.7m, starts ascending with constant acceleration of 1.2m/s^2. 2 sec after the start, a bolt begins falling from the ceiling of the car. The free fall time of the bolt is |

Answer» Here, h = 2.7 m a1 = 1.2 ms-2 g = 9.8 ms-2 u = 0 (w.r.t. elevator) Net acceleration of the bolt, as the elevator is moving up with acceleration a, Will be a = a1 +g = 11 ms-2 Let time at which the ball starts dropping be t = 0 h = ½ at2 => t = √(2h/a) => t = √(2×2.7/11) =>t = 0.7 s Now time when it reaches the floor from starting of the elevator will be = 2+ 0.7 = 2.7 s |
