Using the equation of motion:

h = utĀ - 0.5gtĀ², Ā 

Ā gĀ  is -ve for a rising body, Ā  Ā  gĀ ā‰ˆ 10 m/sĀ², Ā t = 4s, u = 39.2m/s

Note that in this problem we are neglecting the height of the student.

h = utĀ - 0.5gtĀ²,

h = 39.2*4Ā - 0.5*10*4Ā² Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā Use a calculator

h = 76.8 m

The building is 76.8 m tall.
