h=V2−V022g;V=2gh+V0=2×9.8×40+12=28.21ms;Answer:the  speed of the rock is  28.21ms;h=\frac{V^2-V_0^2}{2g};\\V=\sqrt{2gh+V_0}=\sqrt{2\times9.8\times40+12}=28.21\frac{m}{s};\\Answer: the \;speed\ of\ the\ rock\ is \;28.21\frac{m}{s};

Hello dear experts! There's a minute error in the substitution of values as; v^2=vo^2+2gh v=sqrt(2gh+vo^2) v=sqrt[2x9.8x40 + (12)^2] = 30.46m/s Hope you guys figure out this correction and thanks for your endervous help
