An elevator of height `'h'` ascends with constant acceleration `'a'`. When it corsses a plalform bolt drops from the top of the elevator. If the time for the bolt to hit the floor of the elevator is `sqrt((lambdah)/(g + a))` then find `'lambda'`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`sqrt((2h)/((g+a)))`
