And then we can say this is some the vapor leads off the chain and over women some it's gonna be limits. So this quantity times thanks I and that stands for the ice seven total. Okay, But how to calculate the with violence that equals two mg, the mass times the gravity over the both of the road. And that's 80 times 9.8 over 10. And that's equals to the tables, too. 78 1 for Newman, her meter and hangs and his other rivers. Some is gonna be limits and ghostly ability I from one to in 70 April.
