The height of the roof is <u>3.57m</u>
Let the drops fall at a rate of 1 drop per t seconds. The first drop takes 5t seconds to reach the ground. The second drop takes 4t seconds to reach the bottom of the 1.00 m window, while the 3rd drop takes 3t s to reach the top of the window.
Calculate the distances traveled by the second and the third drops s₂ and s₃, which start from rest from the roof of the building.
The length of the window s is given by,
The first drop is at the bottom and it takes 5t seconds to reach down.
The height of the roof h is the distance traveled by the first drop and is given by,
the height of the roof is 3.57 m
