Math Problem Statement
2.76. Egg Drop. You are on the roof of the physics building, 46.0 m above the ground (Fig. 2.49). Your physics profes- sor, who is 1.80 m tall, is walk- ing alongside the building at a constant speed of 1.20 m/s. If you wish to drop an egg on your professor's head, where should the professor be when you release the egg? Assume that the egg is in free fall.
