A rock thrown horizontally from the top of a radio tower lands 20.0 m from the base of the tower. If the speed at which the object was projected was 11.50 m/s, how high is the tower?

Answer 1

The leaning tower of Pisa is 55m high and 7m in diameter. The top of the tower
is displaced 4.5m from the vertical. Treat the tower as a uniform circular cylinder. (a)
What additional displacement measured from the top would bring the tower to the
verge of toppling? (b) What angle would the tower make with the vertical?
