AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to find the height of the tower from which a ball is dropped, given that it covers \( \frac{5}{9} \) of the tower height in the last second of its fall. The acceleration due to gravity \( g \) is given as \( 10 \, \text{m/s}^2 \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Problem**: - Let the height of the tower be \( h \). - The ball is dropped, so the initial velocity \( u = 0 \). - The ball covers \( \frac{5}{9}h \) in the last second before hitting the ground. ...
