A body is thrown horizontally from the top of a tower of 5 m height. It touches the ground at a distance of 10 m from the foot of the tower. The initial velocity of the body is

A

`2.5ms^(-1)`

B

`5 ms^(-1)`

C

`10 ms^(-1)`

D

`20ms^(-1)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Range,`R=(u^2sin2 theta)/g`
`Rproptheta` ( `:.` u=constant)
R will be minimum when `theta` is minimum.
` :.P=15^(@)` will have shorest range.
