TOWER OF PISA : To prove that objects of different weights fall at the same rate,
Galileo dropped two objects with different weights from the Leaning Tower of Pisa in
Italy. The objects hit the ground at the same time. An object dropped off the top of
Leaning Tower of Pisa falls vertically with constant acceleration. If s is the distance of
the object above the ground (in feet) t seconds after its release, then s and t are
related by an equation of the form s = a + bt2 , where a and b are constants. Suppose
the object is 180 feet above the ground 1 second after its release and 132 feet above
the ground 2 seconds after its release.
