Using Newton’s laws to explain everyday motion: Putting it all together

A ledge on a building is 20 m above the ground. A taut rope attached to a 4.0-kg can of paint sitting on the ledge passes up over a pulley and straight down to a 3.0-kg can of nails on the ground. If the can of paint is accidentally knocked off the ledge, what time interval does a carpenter have to catch the can of paint before it smashes on the floor?
