For years, the tallest tower in the United States was the Phoenix Shot Tower in Baltimore, Maryland. The shot tower was used from 1828 to1892 to make lead shot for pistols and rifles and molded shot for cannons and other instruments of warfare. Molten lead was dropped from the top of the 82.15 m tall tower into a vat of water. During its free fall, the lead would form a perfectly spherical droplet and solidify. Determine the velocity of the droplet right before it hits the ground. (Note: acceleration = -9.81 m/s/s) (Hint: think about the direction the droplet travels when considering its displacement.) ___________m/s
