Question
**51. ssm As a prank, someone drops a water-filled balloon out of a
window. The balloon is released from rest at a height of 10.0 m above
the ears of a man who is the target. Then, because of a guilty con-
science, the prankster shouts a warning after the balloon is released.
The warning will do no good, however, if shouted after the balloon
reaches a certain point, even if the man could react infinitely quickly.
Assuming that the air temperature is 20 °C and ignoring the effect of
air resistance on the balloon, determine how far above the man's ears
this point is.
