A ball rolls off top of a staircase with a horizontal velocity `u m s^-1`. If the steps are `h` metre high and `b` mere wide, the ball will just hit the edge of `n th` step. Find the value of `n`.

A

`n=(gx^(@))/(2hu^(2))`

B

`n=(2hu^(2))/(gw^(2))`

C

`n=(2u^(2))/(gw^(2)h)`

D

`n=(2hw^(2)u^(2))/(g)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
b

nw=ut (for horizontal motion)
`nh=(1)/(2)g t^(2)` (for vertical motion)
`nh=(1)/(2)g((nw)/(u))^(2)`
`nh=(1)/(2)(gn^(2)w^(2))/(u^(2))`
`n=(2hu^(2))/(gw^(2))`
