A balloon starting from rest is ascending from ground with uniform acceleration of \(4 \mathrm{ft} / \mathrm{sec}^2\). At the end of \(5 \mathrm{sec}\), a stone is dropped from it. If \(\mathrm{T}\) be the time to reach the stone to the ground and \(\mathrm{H}\) be the height of the balloon when the stone reaches the ground, then

  1. A \(\mathrm{T}=6 \mathrm{sec}\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{H}=112.5 \mathrm{ft}\)
  3. C \(T=5 / 2 \mathrm{sec}\)
  4. D \(225 \mathrm{ft}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(T=5 / 2 \mathrm{sec}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Hint : Let after \(5 \mathrm{sec}\) ballon is at \(B\) Given: \(a=4 \mathrm{ft} / \sec ^2 u(\) Initial velocity \()=0\) \(\mathrm{t}=5 \mathrm{sec}\) Distance covered by ballon in \(5 \mathrm{sec}\);…
