Options:
  • A
    $S=f t$
  • B
    $\mathrm{S}=1 / 6 \mathrm{ft}^2$
  • C
    $\mathrm{S}=1 / 2 \mathrm{ft}^2$
  • D
    None of these

The correct answer is:
None of these


$$
\begin{aligned}
& \mathrm{S}=\frac{\mathrm{ft}_1^2}{2} \\
& \mathrm{v}_0=\sqrt{2 \mathrm{Sf}}
\end{aligned}
$$
During retardation
$$
S_2=2 S
$$
During constant velocity
$$
\begin{aligned}
& 15 \mathrm{~S}-3 \mathrm{~S}=12 \mathrm{~S}=\mathrm{v}_0 \mathrm{t} \\
& \Rightarrow \mathrm{S}=\frac{\mathrm{ft}^2}{72}
\end{aligned}
$$
