Each acceptable summary will earn back up to 1 of the 2 points taken off for the incorrect answer.
For example: XXX The height of the top floor of the tower at Pisa is --- cubits.
Read additional information about the tower and the experiment then write::
24. The "Leaning Tower of Pisa" is 55.86 meters (183 feet) from the top floor to the ground.
Converted to cubits, this is about 100 cubits. This the height from which Galileo dropped the musket
ball and the cannonball in 1591. The tower was built over the course of 199 years between
1173 and 1372 and is made of white marble. Galileo attended the University of Pisa which is
why he did his experiment from this iconic sight.
