A ball is released from the bottom of an elevator which is travelling upward with a velocity of 6 ?/?. The ball strikes the bottom of the elevator shaft in elevator shaft in 3s. Determine the height of the elevator from the bottom of the shaft to the instant the ball is released, and find the velocity of the ball when it strike the bottom of the shaft.
