Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the equation of motion

S = ut+1/2gt²

S is the height of fall

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.81m/s²

u is the initial velocity = 0m/s

t is the time = 6s

Substitute in the formula;

S = 0+1/2(9.81)×6²

S = 4.905×36

S = 176.58m

The shaft is 176.58m deep

Given the expression for distance

S = 16t²

Velocity V = dS/dt

V = 32t

Given v = 1100

1100 = 32t

t = 1100/32

t = 34.375secs

Substitute t = 34.375 into S = 16t²

S = 16(34.375)²

S = 18,906.25ft
