Water drops are falling from a nozzle of a shower onto the floor, from a height of \(9.8\, {m}\). The drops fall at a regular interval of time. When the first drop strikes the floor, at that instant, the third drop begins to fall. Locate the position of second drop from the floor when the first drop strikes the floor.  (In \(m\))

  1. A \(4.18\)
  2. B \(2.94\)
  3. C \(2.45\)
  4. D \(7.35\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(7.35\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\({H}=\frac{1}{2} {gt}^{2}\) \(\frac{9.8 \times 2}{9.8}={t}^{2}\) \({t}=\sqrt{2}\, {sec}\) \(\Delta\) \(t:\) time interval between drops \({h}=\frac{1}{2} {g}(\sqrt{2}-\Delta {t})^{2}\) \(0=\frac{1}{2} {g}(\sqrt{2}-2 \Delta {t})^{2}\) \(\Delta {t}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\)…
