A body projected vertically upwards with a certain speed from the top of a tower reaches the ground in \(t_1\). If it is projected vertically downwards from the same point with the same speed, it reaches the ground in \(t_2\). Time required to reach the ground, if it is dropped from the top of the tower, is _______.
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(\sqrt{t_1 t_2}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(t_1=\frac{u+\sqrt{u^2+2 g h}}{g}\)
\(t_2=\frac{-u+\sqrt{u^2+2 g h}}{g}\)
\(t=\frac{\sqrt{2 g h}}{g}\)
\(t_1 t_2=\frac{\left(u^2+2 g h\right)-u^2}{g^2}=\frac{2 g h}{g^2}=t^2\)
\(\Rightarrow t=\sqrt{t_1 t_2}\)
