Question
In structural design a structure is composed of triangles that are interconnecting. A truss is one of the major types of engineering structures and is especially used in the design of bridges and buildings. Trusses are designed to support loads, such as the weight of people. A truss is exclusively made of long, straight members connected by joints at the end of each member.

$\text{TOWER OF PISA}$ : To prove that objects of different weights fall at the same rate, Galileo dropped two objects with different weights from the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy. The objects hit the ground at the same time. An object dropped off the top of Leaning Tower of Pisa falls vertically with constant acceleration. If $s $ is the distance of the object above the ground $($in feet$) \ t$ seconds after its release, then $s$ and $t$ are related by an equation of the form $s=a+b t^2$ where $a$ and $b$ are constants. Suppose the object is $180$ feet above the ground $1$ second after its release and $132$ feet above the ground $2$ seconds after its release.
Image
$i$. Find the constants $a$ and $b$.
$ii$. How high is the Leaning Tower of Pisa?
$iii$. How long does the object fall?
OR
At $t = 2 \sec,$ the object is at what height?
