Question 1159453: At a uniform rate of 4 drops per section, water is dripping from a faucet. Assuming acceleration of each drop to be 9.81 m/s² and no air resistance, find the distance between two successive drops in mm if the upper drop has been in motion for 3/8 seconds.

.

The time interval between any two successive drops is 1%2F4 of a second.


When the upper drop is  3%2F8  seconds in motion,  the lover drop is  3%2F8+%2B+1%2F4 = 5%2F8 seconds in motion.


Now use the formula  h = %28g%2At%5E2%29%2F2  for the distance of the free falling body and find the distance between the drops as


    distance between = %289.81%2A%285%2F8%29%5E2%29%2F2 - %289.81%2A%283%2F8%29%5E2%29%2F2.
