Chapter 6, Problem 5ICA
Water drips from a faucet at the rate of 3 drops per second. What distance separates one drop from the following drop 0.65 seconds after the leading drop leaves the faucet? How much time elapses between impacts of the two drops if they fall onto a surface that is 6 feet below the lip of the faucet? Your sketch should include the faucet, the two water drops of interest, and the impact surface. Annotate the sketch, labeling each item shown, and denote the relevant distances in symbolic form—for example, you might use d, to represent the distance from the faucet to the first drop.
