Solution
When 6th ball is dropped the 5th, 4th and 3rdhad travelled 1, 2 and 3 second respectively. So the position of the third ball will be S3=12gt2=12×9.8×32=44.1 m from the top.
The position fo the fourth ball will be
S4=12gt2=12×9.8×22=19.6 m from the top
The position fo the 5 ball is S5=12gt2=12×9.8×12=4.9 m from the top
