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 1 m long and requires 1 s. Plot the `x -t` graph of his motion. Determine graphically and otherwise how long the drunkard takes to fall in a pit 13 m away from the start

To solve the problem step by step, we will analyze the drunkard's movement, plot the graph, and determine the time taken to reach the pit. ### Step 1: Understand the Movement Pattern The drunkard takes 5 steps forward and then 3 steps backward. Each step is 1 meter long and takes 1 second. - **Forward Movement:** 5 steps = 5 meters (5 seconds) - **Backward Movement:** 3 steps = 3 meters (3 seconds) ...
