Please check your physics. For the acceleration it doesn't matter what size 
the building is or if you just drop the box from your hands to the ground.

It does however matter (a little) whether you drop that box at one of earths 
poles or near the equator. Gravity is a little different because earth is not a 
perfect sphere.


I liked the first imac fitted with its handle to throw it out the window...

Have fun,

Arnold
