A ball is thrown vertically upward from the 12-m level in an elevator shaft with an initial velocity of 18 m/s. At the same instant an open-platform elevator passes the 5-m level, moving upward with a constant velocity of 2 m/s. Determine (a) when and where the ball will hit the elevator (b) the relative velocity of the ball w/r to the elevator when the ball hits the elevator.
