An elevator starts moving upward with constant acceleration. The position time graph for the floor of the elevator is as shown in the figure. The ceiling to floor distance of the elevator is 1.5 m. At `t = 2.0 s`, a bolt breaks loose and drops from the ceiling.
(a) At what time `t_(0)` does the bolt hit the floor?
(b) Draw the position time graph for the bolt starting from time `t = 0`. [take `g = 10 m//s^(2)]`
