A drunkard walking in a narrow lane takes 5 steps forward and 3 steps backward, followed again by 5 steps forward and 3 steps backward, and so on. Each step is `1m` long and requires 1s. Plot the x-t graph of his motion. Determine graphically or otherwise how long the drunkard takes to fall in a pit 9 m away from the start.
