To solve this problem it is necessary to use the concepts related to Snell's law.
Snell's law establishes that reflection is subject to

Where,
Angle between the normal surface at the point of contact
n = Indices of refraction for corresponding media
The total internal reflection would then be given by





Therefore the
would be equal to



Therefore the largest value of the angle α is 30.27°
Answer:
t_total = 23.757 s
Explanation:
This is a kinematics exercise.
Let's start by calculating the distance and has to reach the limit speed of
v = 18.8 m / s
v = v₀ + a t₁
the elevator starts with zero speed
v = a t₁
t₁ = v / a
t₁ = 18.8 / 2.40
t₁ = 7.833 s
in this time he runs
y₁ = v₀ t₁ + ½ a t₁²
y₁ = ½ a t₁²
y₁ = ½ 2.40 7.833²
y₁ = 73.627 m
This is the time and distance traveled until reaching the maximum speed, which will be constant throughout the rest of the trip.
x_total = x₁ + x₂
x₂ = x_total - x₁
x₂ = 373 - 73,627
x₂ = 299.373 m
this distance travels at constant speed,
v = x₂ / t₂
t₂ = x₂ / v
t₂ = 299.373 / 18.8
t₂ = 15.92 s
therefore the total travel time is
t_total = t₁ + t₂
t_total = 7.833 + 15.92
t_total = 23.757 s
I think d because they are both increasing
