A 6 m ladder leans against the wall. The bottom of the ladder is 1.9 m from the wall at time = 0 sec and slides away from the wall at a rate of 0.3 m/s. Find the velocity of the top of the ladder at time t=2 ( take the direction upwards as positive). (Use decimal notation. Give your answer to three decimal places).
