							(c)
The maximum height H is:

Round off to two significant figures,
H = 174 ft
Therefore, the maximum height attained by the stone relative to ground is 174 ft .

Therefore, the stone takes 1.2 s to move from point H to A
.

Therefore, the height of the cliff is 96 ft. .

Round of to two significant figures,

Therefore, the speed of the stone just before it hits the cliff is 91 ft/s .
