A boy with a mass of 80 kg stands on a scale in an ascending elevator with an acceleration of 3 m/s What is the resultant upward force acting on the boy due to the motion of the elevator

ice to water 1 water to vapour 2 latent heat

initial speed when it is dropped is 150 ft/s

now at the same moment the acceleration due to gravity is perpendicular to its velocity

so as we know that

now we have centripetal acceleration a = 32 ft/s^2 as its perpendicular to velocity

while tangential acceleration at the same moment will be zero

so

now radius of curvature is given as

so the radius of curvature just after it is dropped is 703.125 ft
