A sky lantern which a child tied to a piece of stone on the ground at the side of a tall multi- storey building got loose and then rose vertically upward with a uniform rate of 2.7 m/sec. At a certain height, it touched a small loose stone on the side of the building. The stone strikes the ground after 2.5 sec. Determine the height in meters of the sky lantern when the stone touched the ground.
