Water drops fall from the edge of a roof at a steady rate. A fifth drop starts to fall just as the first drop hits the ground. At this instant, the second and third drops are exactly at the bottom and top edges of a 133.-cm-tall window. How high (in m) is the edge of the roof? thanks for your help! :)

A squirrel is trying to locate some nuts he buried for the winter. He moves 5.10 m to the right of a stone and digs unsuccessfully. Then he moves 1.00 m to the left of his hole, changes his mind, and moves 8.10 m to the right of that position and digs a second hole. No luck. Then he moves 9.90 m to the left and digs again. He finds a nut at last. What is the squirrel’s total displacement from its starting point?
