Day 3 #2
At Cox Arboretum there is a tree tower and while climbing up it my partner Alex and I wanted to figure out about how tall the tower was.
At first Alex and I accompanied by two other dropped a wallet down to see how long it takes it to fall. The problem with that was nobody could remember what we had to do after we timed the fall. So we decided to measure how tall one flight of stairs was and multiply it by how many there were. I stood next to a single flight then we subtracted the height difference and multiplied that by the amount of flights. We discovered that it was around 660 inches and to accommodate the top of the structure into the equation we rounded to 700 inches. So we figured out it was about 58 feet tall give or take a few.
