speed is 6m/min
time is 45min
distance =speed×time
6×45=270m
this is from the starting position ie 15m above ground so the position is 255m below ground
time is 45min
distance =speed×time
6×45=270m
this is from the starting position ie 15m above ground so the position is 255m below ground

if there is place for it to go below the ground
it will go 270-15 = 255
255 meters below the ground
