An impish young lad stands on a bridge 10 m above a lake and drops a water balloon on a boat of unsuspecting tourists. Although the boat is traveling at a speed of 7.5 m/s, the boy manages to land the balloon right on the deck of the boat. How far away from the base of the bridge was the boat when the boy released the balloon? Assume he just lets the balloon go without throwing it (i.e., he simply drops it).
