A body starts falling freely from height \(\mathrm{H}\) hits an inclined plane in its path at height \(\mathrm{h}\). As a result of this perfectly elastic impact, the direction of the velocity of the body becomes horizontal. The value of \(\frac{\mathrm{H}}{\mathrm{h}}\) for which the body will take the maximum time to reach the ground is _______.

  1. A \(2\)
  2. B \(3\)
  3. C \(4\)
  4. D \(5\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Total time of flight \(=\mathrm{T}\) \(T=\sqrt{\frac{2 h}{g}}+\sqrt{\frac{2(H-h)}{g}}\) For \(\max\) time \(=\frac{d T}{d h}=0\) \(\sqrt{\frac{2}{g}}\left(\frac{-1}{2 \sqrt{\mathrm{H}-\mathrm{h}}}+\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{\mathrm{h}}}\right)=0\)…
