An elevator car whose floor to ceiling distance is equal to 2.7 m starts ascending with constant acceleration 1.2 m/s21.2 \text{ m/s}^2. 2 s after the start, a bolt begins falling from the ceiling of the car. Find (Take g=9.8 m/s2g = 9.8 \text{ m/s}^2 ) (a) the time after which bolt hits the floor of the elevator. (b) the net displacement and distance travelled by the bolt, with respect to earth.
