A train ball is dropped from the roof of a building. An observer standing in front of a window `1.2m` high notes that the ball takes `1/8 s` to fall from the top to the bottom of the window. The ball continues to fall , makes a completely elastic collision with a horizontal sidewalk and reappears at the bottom of the window 2 s after passing in on the way down. How tall is the building ?
