Part A

A $124-$kg balloon carrying a $22-kg$ basket is

descending with a constant downward velocity of $20\mathrm{.}9$

$\frac{m}{s}A1\mathrm{.}0-$kgstoneisthrownfromthebasketwithan

initial velocity of $19\mathrm{.}3\frac{m}{s}$ perpendicular to the path of

the descending balloon, as measured relative to a

person at rest in the basket. The person in the basket

sees the stone hit the ground $6\mathrm{.}10s$ after being

thrown. Assume that the balloon continues its

downward descent with the same constant speed of

$20\mathrm{.}9\frac{m}{s}.$

How high was the balloon when the rock was thrown out?

$h_0=$

$m$
