Answer:

1) The anchor was  released from 72.5 meters above the water's surface.

2)The anchor took 29 seconds to reach the water's surface

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of drop of anchor = 2.5 meters per second

So, total depth covered by anchor after 45 seconds

= 2.5 meters x 45 seconds

= 112.5 meters

But after 45 minutes, the anchor was 40 meters deep.

So, extra distance traveled by anchor = Total distance covered by anchor - depth of water

= 112.5 meters  - 40 meters  =  72.5 meters

Hence, the anchor was  released from 72.5 meters above the water's surface.

Now, speed of anchor = 2.5 m/sec

So, total time taken to cover extra 72. 5 meters = 72. 5 meters / 2.5 m/sec

= 29 seconds

Hence, the anchor took 29 seconds to reach the water's surface.
