To find the height of the tower, a formula for free-fall motion can be used, especially since the time and the force of gravity are given. The formula is shown below:
h = (1/2)gt^2
Where:
h = height of the tower = ?
g = acceleration due to gravity = -9.8 m/s^2
t = time = 3.5 seconds
Substituting the given values:
h = (1/2)(9.8)(3.5)^2
h = 60.025 meters
