You have with you (1) a string of 1 meter length (2) 1 Kg weight (3) a watch. Now you want to find out the height of the Tallest tower -- say cn tower of toronto. How many ways can you devise to Measure it? They do not have to be practical, but scientifically Correct. Up to seven methods are child’s play.

1.Go to the top of the building.Attach a weight at the end of the string. Hang it till it touches the ground. Then measure the string. 2.Measure the length of the shadow of the string and shadow of the tower. len of string:len of srting shadow = len of tower:len of shadow of tower

Calculate the time taken for the weight to fall from a height of 1metre.Then calculate the time taken for the weight to fall from the buiding top.Compare both and find the height of the building.

calculate the number of stairs to be climbed to make it equvalent to 1 mtr of vertical height, note down the time taken to climb these stairs (say t sec) and then the time taken to climb to the top of the stairs (say T sec) maintaining a uniform speed throughout. then the height of the tower will be (T/ t) mtrs.

Since the answer needs to be just scientifically correct and not practically, i guess u can find the height of the tower by measureing it 1 mt a time using the string !!!!!! :)

The first answer out of the 2 Posted by Bharathy (on 2005-06-02 09:15:45) can only be true if the tower is less than or equal 1 mt in height, which definately does not qualify it to be a "TALL / TALLEST" tower !!! :)
