SOLUTION: 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

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  of a second.


When the upper drop is    seconds in motion,  the lover drop is   =  seconds in motion.


Now use the formula  h =   for the distance of the free falling body and find the distance between the drops as


    distance between =  - .
