Answer:
The third drop is 0.26m
Explanation:
The drop 1 impacts at time T is given by:
T=sqrt(2h/g)
T= sqrt[(2×2.4)/9.8]
T= sqrt(4.8/9.8)
T= sqrt(0.4898)
T= 0.70seconds
4th drops starts at dT=0.70/3= 0.23seconds
The interval between the drops is 0.23seconds
Third drop will fall at t= 0.23
h=1/2gt^2
h= 1/2×9.81×(0.23)^2
h= 0.26m
