The leaning tower of Pisa is 54.5 m tall. Supposedly Galileoinvestigated the behavior of falling objects by dropping them fromthe top of this tower and timing their descent. How long would ittake an object to fall 54.5 m if air effects are negligible?

Must include in answer:

Describe the assumptions and the model that pertains to thisproblem.

Draw a picture of the problem that is clear and includespertinent given information.

Solve the problem with your steps clearly labeled and yoursolution clearly identified and explain your solution. i.e. startwith a physical model, construct your equations, solve. I highlyrecommend that you solve symbolically first and only plug innumbers at the end.
