Problem

A model tower is constructed to a 1 : 25 scale of an observation tower. A pebble released from the top of the model reaches the ground in 0.20 s. Ignoring air resistance, the time taken by a pebble dropped from the actual tower will be (a) 0.90 s0.90\ \text{s} (b) 5.0 s5.0\ \text{s} (c) 1.0 s1.0\ \text{s} (d) 0.04 s0.04\ \text{s}
