Textbook Question
Chapter 10, Problem 19ICA
We accidentally drop a tomato from the balcony of a high-rise apartment building. As it falls, the tomato has time to ponder some physics and says. “You know, the distance I have fallen equals one-half gravity times the time I have fallen squared.” Create a worksheet to solve the question of when the tomato goes splat.
- The user will input the initial balcony height in units of feet. Use data validation to set a limit for the height of 200 feet.
- Place the acceleration due to gravity in a cell under the balcony height and not within the formulas themselves. Be sure to watch the units for this problem!
- Column A will be the distance the tomato falls, starting at a distance of zero up to a distance of 200 feet, in 5-foot increments.
- Column B will show the calculated time elapsed at each distance fallen.
- Column C will display the status of the tomato as it falls.
- If the tomato is still falling, the cell should display the distance the tomato still has to fall.
- If the tomato hits the ground, the cell should display “SPLAT” on a red background.
- SPLAT should appear once; the cells below are blank.
Test your worksheet using the following conditions:
- I. At a balcony height of 200 feet, the tomato should splat at a time of 3.52 seconds.
- II. At a balcony height of 50 feet, the tomato should splat at a time of 1.76 seconds.

A vertical chemical reactor undergone a maintenance in which its internals were subjected inspection from bottom to top before catalyst loading. A site engineer (63.00 kg) was tasked to do the inspection and he stopped from time to time at each portion to inspect. A safety officer monitored the engineer’s position while watching from the top and reported his position (Refer to the photo attached. CORRECTION for data table at t=70.00 min, position=725.0 cm):
Solve for:
(a) Power he exerted at t = 50.00 min
(b) Power he exerted at t = 65.00 min
(c) Total Work he exerted throughout the inspection
