How high is the bridge


Consider a railroad bridge over a highway. A train passing over the bridge dislodges a loose bolt from the bridge, which proceeds to fall straight down and ends up breaking the windshield of a car passing under the bridge. The car was 27 m away from the point of impact when the bolt began to fall down; unfortunately, the driver did not notice it and proceeded at constant speed of 17 m/s. How high is the bridge? Or more precisely, how high are the railroad tracks above the windshield height? The acceleration of gravity is 9.8m/s2.
