Let h be the height of the tower,
t be the time needed for the object to reach the ground
using the equation of motion: s = ut + (1/2)at^2
u = 0 m/s, a = g, s = h, time = t
h = (1/2)g.t^2 ----------------------- (1)
Since the object travels (9/25)h in the last second, that is to say, it travels (1-9/25).h in (t-1) seconds
using the equation s = ut + (1/2)at^2 again
u = 0 m/s, a = g, time = t-1, s = (1-9/25)h = 16h/25
16h/25 = (1/2).g.(t-1)^2 ------------------ (2)
Dividing: (2)/(1) gives
16/25 = (t-1)^2/t^2
simplifying, 9t^2 - 50t +25 = 0
solve for t gives t = 5/8 s (rejected because t must be longer than 1 s)
or t = 5 s (accepted)
substitute t = 5s into (1), and taking g = 10 m/s2
h = (10 x 5 x 5)/2 m = 125 m
