Height of the tower = H
Total time taken to reach the ground = T

H = 0.5gT^2 ——(1)

H - 24.5 = 0.5g * (T - 1)^2
0.5gT^2 - 24.5 = 0.5g * (T^2 + 1 - 2T)
0.5gT^2 - 24.5 = 0.5gT^2 + 0.5g - gT
gT - 24.5 = 0.5g
10T - 24.5 = 5
10T = 29.5
T = 2.95 s

Substitute T = 2.95 s in equation (1)
H = 0.5gT^2
= 0.5 * 10 * (2.95)^2
= 43.5 m

Height of the tower is 43.5 m

Three identical balls are placed on a frictionless horizontal surface touching each other. They stick to each other because of adhesive. Another ball of same radius and mass m is placed over the void created by the three balls. Find the forces applied by the balls kept on the floor to each other if the system remains in equilibrium.
