Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 4.2

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Time to reach ground \(= \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}} = \sqrt{\frac{2 \times 5}{10}} = 1 sec\) Five drops per second Time between each drop \(= 0.2\ sec.\) Time of fall for \(4^th\) drop is \(1 - 0.6 = 0.4\ sec\) Height fall of \(4^th\) drop is…
