Q.3 Krrish is saving a child in a building caught by fire. He and child are trapped and he ties a rope and drops
it out of window. Unfortunately, the tensile strength of the rope is 900 N and Krrish & child's combine

enough on it so it doesn't break. What will be his speed at the bottom of the rope as he hits the ground?

top of the rope. [3]
