AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem of calculating the height of the tower from which a stone is dropped, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Information:** - Time taken to reach the ground (t) = 4 seconds - Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s² - Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s (since the stone is dropped) ...
