In a circus, a performer throws an apple towards a hoop held at $45 \,m$ height by another performer standing on a high platform (see figure). The thrower aims for the hoop and throws the apple with a speed of $24 \,m / s$. At the exact moment that the thrower releases the apple, the other performer drops the hoop. The hoop falls straight down. At ............ $m$ height above the ground does the apple go through the hoop?
