Q.3nl Krrish is saving a child in a building caught by fire. He and child are trapped and he ties a rope
and drops it out of window. Unfortunately, the tensile strength of the rope is 900 N and Krrish &
child's combine mass is 100 kilograms. He therefore decides to let the rope slide through his
hands, pulling just hard enough on it so it doesn't break. What will be his speed at the bottom of
the rope as he hits the ground? Assume the rope is 12 meters long and that Krrish's vertical speed
is zero as he leaves the window at the top of the rope. [3]
