A stone is thrown vertically upwards with an initial speed `u` from the top of a tower, reaches the ground with a speed `3 u`. The height of the tower is :

A

`3u^(2)//g`

B

`4u^(2)//g`

C

`6u^(2)//g`

D

`9u^(2)//g`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

`upsilon^(2)=u^(2)+2gh`
`rArr (3u)^(2)=(-u)^(2)+2gh rArr h=(4u^(2))/(g) darr + ve`
