Physics homework help?

Suppose that, while lying on a beach near the equator watching the sun set over a calm ocean, you start a stopwatch just as the top of the sun disappears. You then stand, elevating your eyes by a height H=1.60 m, and stop the watch when the top of the sun disappears. If the elapsed time is t=11.8s what is the radius r of the earth?
