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.

Explanation

To solve the problem, we need to determine the acceleration of the elevator based on the motion of the coin dropped from it. Here’s a step-by-step solution:

### Step 1: Understand the Problem
The elevator is descending with uniform acceleration, and a coin is dropped from a height of 6 feet above the floor of the elevator. The coin strikes the floor of the elevator in 1 second. We need to find the acceleration of the elevator.

### Step 2: Define Variables
- Let \( A \) be the acceleration of the elevator (in feet per second squared).
- The acceleration due to gravity \( g \) is approximately \( 32 \, \text{ft/s}^2 \).
