An elevator is descending with uniform acceleration.To measure the acceleration, a person in the elevator drops a coin at momen the elevator strts. The coin is 6 ft asbove the floor of the elevator at the time it is dropped. The person observes that the coin strikes the floor in 1 second. Calculate these dta the acceleration of the elevator.
