it takes the 1st stone 2 s to reach its peak and return to the top of the tower, now going downward with the same velocity as the 2nd stone
that velocity is 9.8 m/s
when it reaches the ground, its velocity is 39.2 m/s...4 s * 9.8 m/s
its average velocity is 24.5 m/s
... (9.8 + 39.2) / 2
the distance (height) is 73.5 m
... 3 s * 24.5 m/s
that velocity is 9.8 m/s
when it reaches the ground, its velocity is 39.2 m/s...4 s * 9.8 m/s
its average velocity is 24.5 m/s
... (9.8 + 39.2) / 2
the distance (height) is 73.5 m
... 3 s * 24.5 m/s
