Answer:
0.91437 m
0.22859 m
Explanation:
g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s² = a


When the time intervals are equal, if four drops are falling then we have 3 time intervals.
So, the time interval is

For second drop time is given by

Distance from second drop

Distance from second drop is 0.91437 m
Distance from third drop

Distance from third drop is 0.22859 m
The total force applied by the three people is:

This force is pushing toward the direction of the motion, while the frictional force

points in the opposite direction.
We can write Newton's second law applied to the block: the resultant of the two forces must be equal to the product between the block's mass and its acceleration

We know the mass of the block, m=500 kg, and the acceleration,

, so we can find the friction:
All you have to do is get the culmative effect of the forces by predicting the direction in which each object will move. Just write down what you know and put down questions for your teacher.
