Bob proposed Alice to a marriage on the very top of a 30m building. Alice said yes. Bob then put the ring on Alice’s finger. Alice was very happy. She threw her hands up in the air. Unfortunately, the ring slipped from her finger and fell down due to gravity.Bob set up a camera to record the moment. Thus, he look at the footage and determine that the ring was going out of Alice’s hand with speed of vi =10m/s at an angle of θ=30 . The dimension of the building is given below. (a) If the ring were to land on the terrace, how long would it take?(b) If the ring were to land on the Lawn, how long would it take?(c) Where should Bob search for the ring? Terrace or lawn?
