The height of the balcony may be calculated through the equation,
h = V₀t + 0.5gt²
where h is the height, V₀ is the initial velocity, g is the gravitational constant and t is time. Substituting the values given above,
h = (5 m/s)(2s) + 0.5(10 m/s²)(2 s)²
h = 30 m
Thus, the height of the balcony is 30 meters.
