PLEASE HELP!!

Student 1 drops a ball from a tower. Student 2 throws a ball down at 35 m/s from the same height and from the same tower. The student 2's ball takes one-quarter of the time of the dropped ball. What is the height of the tower? Use a=10.0m/s2 [down]

Consider a double atwood machine constructed as follows: a mass 4m is suspended from a string that passes over a massless pulley on frictionless bearings. the other end of this string supports a second similar pulley, over which passes a second string supporting a mass of 3m at one end and m at the other. using two suitable generalized coordinates, set up the lagrangian and use the lagrange equations to find the acceleration of the mass 4m when the system is released. explain why the top pulley rotates even though it carries equal weights on each side.
