The floor to ceiling height of an elevator is 4.5?.
The elevator starts from the ground at rest and accelerates upward at 6?/?2. At ?=1?, a lamp on the elevator ceiling starts to fall (due to high ?forces).
How long will it take the lamp to hit the floor? Solve this problem in two ways:
a) From the perspective of a fixed X-Yframe(the ground frame).
b) From the perspective of a frame moving with the elevator (the relative frame).
