From a tower of height \(H\), a particle is thrown vertically upwards with a speed \( u\). The time taken by the particle, to hit the ground, is \(n\) times that taken by it to reach the highest point of its path. The relation between \(H, u\) and \(n\) is:

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(2gH=nu^2(n-2)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{array}{l}
Speed\,on\,reaching\,ground\,v = \sqrt {{u^2} + 2gh} \\
Now,\,v = u + at\\
 \Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\sqrt {{u^2} + 2gh}  =  - u + gt\\
Time\,taken\,to\,reach\,highest\,{\rm{point}}\,is\,t = \frac{u}{g},\\
 \Rightarrow t = \frac{{u + \sqrt {{u^2} + 2gH} }}{g} = \frac{{nu}}{g}\left( {from\,question} \right)\\
 \Rightarrow 2gH = n\left( {n - 2} \right){u^2}
\end{array}\)
