An engineer picked two stones, one stone is held in his left hand and the other stone is held in his right hand. The stone in his left hand is thrown vertically upward from the ground with a velocity of 56.9 ft per sec. The stone in his right hand is thrown vertically upward after the engineer throws the first stone. The second stone has a velocity of 30-ft per sec. How far above the ground will the stones be at the same level?
