A body dropped from the top of tower takes 4 sec to hit the ground.How much time does it takes to cover second half tower (g =10 m/s^2)​

Answer»

ANSWER :

Time taken by body to hot the ground = 4s

We have to find time taken by body to cover second half of the tower.

★ First of all we need to find HEIGHT of the tower.

For a body falling freely under the action of gravity, g is taken positive.

For FREE falling motion, u = zero

H = ut + 1/2 gt²

➝ H = 0 + 1/2 (10)(4)²

➝ H = 1/2 (160)

H = 80 m

Now let's find time taken by body to cover first half of the tower.

Height of first half will be 40m.

➝ H/2 = ut₁ + 1/2 gt₁²

40 = 0 + 1/2 (10)(t₁)²

➝ 40 = 5t₁²

➝ t₁² = 8

t₁ = 2.82 m

Time taken by body to cover second half :

➝ t = t₁ + t₂

➝ 4 = 2.82 + t₂

t₂ = 1.18 s

∴ Body will take 1.18s to cover second half of the tower.
