A student told his friend that he heard that if you dropped a 2 ounce fishing weight from the top of the Empire State Building in New York City (this building is 1454 feet tall!), it would actually crack the sidewalk when it landed. Using what you know about kinetic energy and gravity, do you believe this could actually happen? Use scientific information to support your claim.

Wo small variable-thrust jets are actuated to keep the spacecraft angular velocity about the z-axis constant at ? 0 = 1.16 rad/s as the two telescoping booms are extended from r1 = 1.18 m to r2 = 4.69 m at a constant rate over a period of 124 seconds. the small 19-kg experiment modules at the ends of the booms may be treated as particles, and the mass of the rigid booms is negligible. determine the necessary thrust t for each jet as a function of time where t = 0 is the time when the telescoping action is begun. after you have the general expression for t, answer the questions. show work.
