$A$ boy is standing on top of a tower of height $85 \, m$ and throws a ball in the vertically upward direction with a certain speed. If $5.25 \, s$ later he hears the ball hitting the ground,then the speed with which the boy threw the ball is .......... $m/s$ (take $g = 10 \, m/s^2$ and speed of sound in air $= 340 \, m/s$).
