Detailed Solution
Time taken by packet to reach the ground:T=2×18010=6sHorizontal distance travelled by helicopter in this time= 8 x 6 = 48 m.Velocity of package w.r.t. ground= 12 - 8 = 4 m/s in backward direction.Horizontal distance travelled by package in time,T=4 x 6=24m.So, horizontal distance between them = 48 + 24 = 72 m
