A ball is projected upwards from the top of tower with a velocity 50 ms –1 making angle 30 o with the horizontal. The height of the tower is 70 m. After how many seconds from the instant of throwing will the ball reach the ground
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
Formula for calculation of time to reach the body on the ground from the tower of height ‘ h ’ (If it is thrown vertically up with velocity u ) is given by 
So we can resolve the given velocity in vertical direction and can apply the above formula.
Initial vertical component of velocity 
∴ ∴ 
= 6.33 sec.
