answered-by-expert Expert Answer
Let 'u' be the initial velocity, 'v' the final velocity, g the gravity, and h the height of the stone thrown in upward direction
.
we know that v = u - gt
by squaring on both side, we get
v^2 = (u^2) - 2ugt + (gt)^2
v^2 = (u^2) - 2g (ut -(gt^2)/2)
substitute h in the place of (ut - (gt^2)/2)/
v^2 = (u^2) - 2gh
Here final velocity is zero.
0 = (u^2) -2gh
2gh = u^2
h = (u^2)/(2g)
where g = 9.8 m^2/s
h = (u^2)/19.6 m
 h = (u^2)/19.6 meter
h = 19.6 m
 
from
v = u + at
0 = 19.6 - 9.8 * t
t = 2 second to reach from the tower to max height
 
Now, from maximum height to reach to earth , the time left is 4 seconds
 now, v = 0
S = ut + 1/2 at2
(h+ 19.6) = 0 + 1/2 * 9.8 * 4 * 4
h + 19.6 = 78.4
 
h = 78.4 - 19.6 = 58.8 m is the height of tower
