From Vf = Vo - 9.8t, 5.6 = 0 - 9.8t or t = .571sec. to zero verical velocity and maximum height.
From h = Vot - 4.9t^2, h = .56(.571) - 4.9(.571)^2 or h = 1.597 m upward from the 115m drop point for a total height of 116.56m.
Again, from h = Vot + 4.9t^2, the time to reach the ground derives from
116.56 = 0(t) + 4.9t^2 or t = 4.85 sec.
