Badiuddin askIITians.ismu Expert · Answer

Dear Chilukuri

tami taken to fall a distance 5 m by first stone

5=1/2 *g*t²

t=1 sec

let hight of tower is h

so motion of first stone

h= 1/2 * 10 * t^{2 .....................1}

motion of second stone

h-25 =1/2 * 10 *(t-1)^{2 ...............2}

put value of h from equation 1

t=3 sec

and h=45 m
