A body falling from a high Minaret travels 40 meters in the last 2 seconds of its fall to ground. Height of Minaret in meters is (take \(g = 10 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^2\) )
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
Let height of minaret is H and body take time T to fall from top to bottom.
\(H - \frac{1}{2} g \overline{T}^2\) … (i)
In last 2 sec . body travels distance of 40 meter so in \{T - 2\} sec distance travelled (H - 40)m .
\((H - 40) - \frac{1}{2} g l (T - 2)^{2}\) … (ii)
By solving (i) and (ii) 7 = 3 sec and H 45 m .
