A stone is thrown up from the top of a tower and it takes time `t_(1)` to reach the ground. A second stone is thrown down with the same speed and it takes time `t_(2)` to reach the ground . How much time a third stone would take to reach the ground, if it is dropped down?

To solve the problem step by step, we will analyze the motion of the three stones thrown from the top of a tower. ### Step 1: Understand the Problem We have three cases: 1. A stone is thrown upwards with an initial speed \( u \) and takes time \( t_1 \) to reach the ground. 2. A second stone is thrown downwards with the same initial speed \( u \) and takes time \( t_2 \) to reach the ground. 3. A third stone is simply dropped (initial speed \( u = 0 \)), and we need to find the time \( t \) it takes to reach the ground. ...
