I gave the student six minutes to answer the question.I warned him though that his answer should show some knowledge of physics.At the end of five minutes,he had not written anything.I asked if he wished to give up,but he said no.He had many answers to this problem; he was just thinking of the best one.I excused myself for interrupting him,and asked him to please go on.In the next minute,he quickly wrote out his answer,which read:"Take the barometer to the top of the building.Drop the barometer,timing its fall with a stopwatch.Then using the formula S=1/2 gt2,calculate the height of the building."
At this point,I asked my colleague if he would give up.He gave up,and I gave the student almost full credit.
