I will study the fall of trash in trash conduits in highrise buildings with the goal of determining the height of the building using the fall time.
The factors to be taken into account (in prioritized order) are acceleration/velocity due to gravity, air resistance that the trash is under influence of in the conduit, and speed of sound.
Speed of sound is taken into account to extract time needed for the sound signal to travel up the chute to the drop point.
