A body is projected vertically upwards with a velocity ' u ' from the top of a tower. Time taken by it to reach the ground is ' n ' times the time taken by it to reach the highest point in its path. Height of the tower is
Options
- An u 2 ( n - 1 ) 2 g
- Bn u 2 ( n - 2 ) g
- Cn u 2 ( n - 2 ) 2   g
- Du 2 2 g ( n + 1 )
Correct answer
C. n u 2 ( n - 2 ) 2   g
Step-by-step solution
Let us suppose. h is the height of the tower and it attains maximum height up to H from ground, so Time to reach the maximum height, t = u g if t 2 is the time taken by the ball to hit the ground, - H = u t 2 - 1 2 g t 2 2 t 2 = n t - H = u n t - 1 2 g n t 2 ⇒ - H = u n u g - 1 2 g n × u g 2 ⇒ H = n u 2 n - 2 2 g
