The correct Answer is:
To find the ratio of the distances through which a body falls in the 4th, 5th, and 6th seconds, we can use the formula for the distance traveled in the t-th second when starting from rest. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Problem**: - We need to find the distance fallen in the 4th, 5th, and 6th seconds of free fall. The object starts from rest, so the initial velocity (u) is 0. 2. **Formula for Distance in the t-th Second**: - The distance fallen in the t-th second can be calculated using the formula: \[ s_t = \frac{g}{2} (2t - 1) \] where \( g \) is the acceleration due to gravity. 3. **Calculate the Distance for Each Second**: - **For the 4th second (t = 4)**: \[ s_4 = \frac{g}{2} (2 \cdot 4 - 1) = \frac{g}{2} (8 - 1) = \frac{g}{2} \cdot 7 = \frac{7g}{2} \] - **For the 5th second (t = 5)**: \[ s_5 = \frac{g}{2} (2 \cdot 5 - 1) = \frac{g}{2} (10 - 1) = \frac{g}{2} \cdot 9 = \frac{9g}{2} \] - **For the 6th second (t = 6)**: \[ s_6 = \frac{g}{2} (2 \cdot 6 - 1) = \frac{g}{2} (12 - 1) = \frac{g}{2} \cdot 11 = \frac{11g}{2} \] 4. **Finding the Ratio**: - Now, we can write the ratio of the distances fallen in the 4th, 5th, and 6th seconds: \[ s_4 : s_5 : s_6 = \frac{7g}{2} : \frac{9g}{2} : \frac{11g}{2} \] - Since \( \frac{g}{2} \) is common in all terms, we can simplify the ratio: \[ 7 : 9 : 11 \] ### Final Answer: The ratio of the distances through which the body falls in the 4th, 5th, and 6th seconds is: \[ \boxed{7 : 9 : 11} \]
