### There is a water in two tank, tank a&b. The volume of tank a and b is 4:3. When 0.8 liter of water is added to tank A, there is twice much more water in tank A than tank b. When tank A is filled completely, it is 1/4 of tank b, how much more water to fill tank b to its rim?

### A flowerpot accidentally falls off the window of a condominium unit. Your unit is located below where the flowerpot had fallen. Your window measures to be 1.60 m tall, and the time it takes the flowerpot to move past your window is 0.150 s (from the top part to the bottom part of the window). How high from the top of your window did the flowerpot fell off?
