A graduation cap is tossed upward . It is f feet above the ground s seconds after it has been thown . The relation ship between f and s is given by the equation f=60 s-17 s ^(2) , where 0 le s le 3.5 . How many feet above the ground is the cap 3 seconds after it is thrown ?

A water hose pipe of cross-sectional area 5cm^(2) is used to fill a tank of 120L . It has been observed that it takes 2 min to fill the tank. Now, a nozzel with an opening of cross-sectional area 1cm^(2) is attached to the hose. The nozzel is held so that water is projected horizontally from a point 1m above the ground. The horizontal distance over which the water can be projected is (Take g=10m//s^(2)) .
