A stone is dropped from the top of a tower. When it crosses a point 5 m below the top, another stone is let fall from a point 25 m below the top. Both stones reach the bottom of the tower simultaneously. Find the height of the tower. Take g = 10 m//s^2.

A stone is falling from the top of a vertical tower, when it has ascended a metres, another stone is let fall from a point x metres below the top. If they fall from rest and reach the ground together, then the height of the tower is (a+ x)^(2)//a metres.
