Engineering Mechanics - dynamics

A hollow block is accidentally dropped by a laborer working in a high rise building. four seconds after it strikes the ground, an explosion like sound was heard by the laborer. the velocity of sound is 320 minutes per seconds.

1. In what storey number of the building the laborer is located if the height per storey is
3 meters?
2. What is the time of the hollow block to reach the ground?
3. what is the time of sound to travel the distance equal to the position (height) of the
laborer?

What am I missing when I rotate a tripod leg 45 degrees to solve for loads

I solved for the loads on a tripod leg that creates a 45 degree angle with the ground. The leg is 2x2" tube. The legs fold up and then swings into open position and stopped by R2. After solving for the loads I rotated the leg to the horizontal position. I solved for the X&Y components. This allowed me to use a beam program with the Y loads and reactions to determine the moment diagram and bending stress. I would then solve for the axial stresses using the X components. I could then combine the bending stress and axial stresses.
