Question

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

g H = (n – 2)u2

g H = (n – 2)2u2

2g H = nu2(n – 2)

2 g H = n2u2

Solution

H=ut12gt2

 12gt2 – ut – H = 0

nug=t=utu2+2gMg

(n – 1)u =u2+2gH

(n – 1)2 u2 – u2 = 2gH

u2[n2 – 2n] = 2gH
