Answer:29.627 m

Explanation:

Given

Initial velocity of life preserver(u) is 1.6 m/s

it takes 2.3 s to reach the water

using equation of motion

v=u+at

v=1.6+9.81\times 2.3

v=24.163 m/s

Let s be the height of life preserver

v^2-u^2=2gs

24.163^2-1.6^2=2\times 9.81\times s

s=\frac{581.29}{2\times 9.81}

s=29.627 m
