Lift A is going up with velocity 20m/s and acceleration of 8 m/s2 in the downward direction. While lift B is going down with 10m/s and acceleration of +2 m/s2 in upward direction. At this moment a bolt in the ceiling of lift A gets loose and falls. Height of the lift is 16 m.Find the displacement of bolt relative to B when it hits the floor of A.
24 m
Displacement of bolt at 4s:
Sb=20×4−1210(4)2=0m
Displacement of lift B at 4s:
SB=10×4−1410(4)2=24m downward
So displacement of bolt relative to B:
Sbb=0−24=−24m
