Find roof’s height

You entered in room and noticed that there is nothing but a bulb hanging from the ceiling. You noticed that the bulb is exactly touching your head and it is in the center of roof (where diagonals meet.)

So, what is roof’s height? BTW, you just came from office. So, go ahead and take some assumptions

Solution: -
The only assumption I will take is "I have a watch" & actually I do :) Now, given that bulb is hanging from the ceiling, I can make it swing like a "Pendulum". Then I can find out the length of the string T = 3.14 SQRT (L/32) . Finally, I will add 5'10 to L and that the roof's height :)

So, do you want more puzzles ??
