The maximum speed of a boat in still water is \(27 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{h}\). Now this boat is moving downstream in a river flowing at \(9 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{h}\). A man in the boat throws a ball vertically upwards with speed of \(10 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\). Range of the ball as observed by an observer at rest on the river bank, is _______ cm. (Take \(\mathrm{g}=10 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2\))

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 2000

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{v}}_{\mathrm{b}}=9+27=36 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{hr}\)

\(\begin{aligned} & \overrightarrow{\mathrm{v}}_{\mathrm{b}}=36 \times \frac{1000}{36000}=10 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{sec} \\ & \text { Time of flight }=\frac{2 \times 10}{10}=2 \mathrm{sec} \\ & \text { Range }=10 \times 2=20 \mathrm{~m}=2000 \mathrm{~cm}\end{aligned}\)
