Answer:
0.767m
Explanation:
We are given that the time interval between each droplet is equal.
We are also given that the fourth drop is just dripping from the shower when the first hits the floor.
If they fall at the same time interval and we know that the distance between the shower head and floor are the same, they must therefore fall at the same velocity.
The distance between each drop has to be the same given that they fall at equal time intervals.
Let this distance be x.
We can then partition the entire height of the system into three parts (as shown in the diagram).
Hence, we can say that:
x + x + x = 2.3m
3x = 2.3m
=> x = 2.3/3 = 0.767m
Therefore, at the time the first drop hits the floor, the third drop is only 0.767 m below the shower head.
