5 A particle is projected vertically upwards with speed \(40 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\) alongside a building of height \(h \mathrm {~m}\).
  1. Given that the particle is above the level of the top of the building for 4 s , find \(h\).
  2. One second after the first particle is projected, a second particle is projected vertically upwards from the top of the building with speed \(20 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\). Denoting the time after projection of the first particle by \(t \mathrm {~s}\), find the value of \(t\) for which the two particles are at the same height above the ground.
