Let h be the height of the tower and t the time taken 

u=0 and g= 10m/s2

Using S= ut +1/2 gt2

h= 0+5t2  -----(1)

distance travelled in last 2 seconds is 40 m

again using S= ut +1/2 gt2

h-40= 0+5(t-2)2 -----(2)

subracting 2 from 1

h-h+40= 5(t2 - (t-2)2  

8= (t2 - (t-2)2 

8= 4t-4

t=3

substituting t in equation 1

h= 5x 3 x 3= 45 m

Height of tower = 45 m
