Answer:
2081.65 m
Explanation:
We'll begin by calculating the time taken for the load to get to the target. This can be obtained as follow:
Height (h) = 3000 m
Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s²
Time (t) =?
h = ½gt²
3000 = ½ × 10 × t²
3000 = 5 × t²
Divide both side by 5
t² = 3000 / 5
t² = 600
Take the square root of both side
t = √600
t = 24.49 s
Finally, we shall determine the distance from the target at which the load should be released. This can be obtained as follow:
Horizontal velocity (u) = 85 m/s
Time (t) = 24.49 s
Horizontal distance (s) =?
s = ut
s = 85 × 24.49
s = 2081.65 m
Thus, the load should be released from 2081.65 m.
