Bob is trying to determine the height of his balcony from the base of the building without leaving
his balcony. To do this, he asks Victor for advice. Using concepts of physics, what advice should
Victor give to Bob? Hint: Assume that Bob has access to a timer and his reacting time to start
and stop the timer is zero. Also, she has an object that she can drop and there is no air
resistance.
