A man riding upward in a freight elevator accidentally drops a package off the elevator when it is 100 ft from the ground. If the elevator maintains a constant upward speed of 4 fus, determine how high the elevator is from the ground the instant the package hits the ground. Draw the v-t curve for the package during the time it is in motion. Assume that the package was released with the same upward speed as the elevator.

Given Problem:

Please see the attached photo.

A man riding upward in a freight elevator accidentally drops a package off the elevator
when it is 100 ft from the ground. If the elevator maintains a constant upward speed of 4
f/s, determine how high the elevator is from the ground the instant the package hits the
ground. Draw the v-t curve for the package during the time it is in motion. Assume that
the package was released with the same upward speed as the elevator.
