Chapter 3, Problem 61PE
A sandal is dropped from the top of a 15.0-m-high mast on a ship moving at 1.75 m/s due south. Calculate the velocity of the sandal when it hits the deck of the ship: (a) relative to the ship and (b) relative to a stationary observer on shore. (c) Discuss how the answers give a consistent result for the position at which the sandal hits the deck.

4. A person is setting up a small clean room space to carry out an outreach activity to educate high
school students about patterning using photolithography. They obtained a positive photoresist, a
used spin coater, a high energy light lamp for exposure and ordered a plastic transparency mask
with a pattern on it to reduce cost. Upon trying this set up multiple times they find that the full
resist gets developed, and they are unable to transfer the pattern onto the resist. Help them
troubleshoot and find out why pattern of transfer has not been successful.
