Let h = distance (m) to the water surface.
Initial velocity, u = 0 (because the stone was dropped).
Use the formula
h = ut + (1/2)gt^2
where g = 9.8 m/s^2 (acc. due to graity)
t = time (s)
h = (1/2)*(9.8)*(3^2) = 44.1 m
Answer:
M V R = constant angular momentum is constant because no forces act in the direction of V
Since M (mass) = constant
V R = constant
The force is directed along the gravitational force vector (towards the center of rotation)
