A sandbag is dropped from a Jules Verne hot air balloon, which is ascending vertically at a constant speed of 6 m/s. If the bag is releasedwith the same upward velocity of 6 m/s when t=0 and hits the ground when t=8 s, determine the altitude of the balloon at this instant (when the bag hits the ground).Use g=9.81 m/s2 in your calculation.
