Given :
time (t)= 5 secs.
acceleration due to gravity (g)= 9.77m/s^2
therefore , a= g
As it is dropped from height it's ,
initial velocity = 0 m/s
To find :
height of cliff =?
Formula :
s = ut +1 gt^2
2
Solution :
s = 0 ×5 + 1 ×9.77×5^2
2
s= 0 + 1 × 9.77 × 25
2
s = 9.77×25
2
s = 244.25
2
s= 122.125
s = 122.13 m
therefore , the height of cliff is 122.13 m

Answer:
125 meters (assuming g = 10m/s-²)
Explanation:
as per second equation of motion s = ut + 1/2at²
a = g = 10m/s^-2
t = 5 seconds
initial velocity = 0m/s
s = ut + 1/2at²
s = 0 * 5 + 1/2 * 10 * 5 *5
s = 0 + 5 * 5 * 5
s = 125
Note :- we have assumed g as 10 not 9.7 your answer could vary using 9.7
