    39.8 m

    Explanation:

    Let h be the required height and t be the time to reach the egg which was thrown later on. The egg thrown earlier took (t + 2.2) s, with initial velocity zero to cover distance of h.,

    So

    h = 1/2 g (t + 2.2) ²

    For the egg thrown with velocity of 58 m/s

    h = 58 t + 1/2 g t²

    Equating these two equations

    1/2 g (t + 2.2) ² = 58 t + 1/2 g t²

    1/2 g (t² + 4.4 t + 4.84) = 58 t + 1/2 g t²

    58 t = 21.56 t + 23.716

    t =.65 s

    h = 1/2 x 9.8 x (2.2+.65) ²

    h = 39.8 m
