A cemetery maintenance company is monitoring the displacement of tombstones that have moved by the process of creep. Tombstones must be straightened when the displacement reaches 20 cm to prevent toppling. By measuring the tilt angle on various tombstones, they determined the creep rate in 2007 to be as shown in this table: Date on Tombstone Rate (mm/yr) 1929 2.09 1930 2.24 1942 2.11 1961 2.30 1978 2.27 Which tombstone will need to be straightened first
