A body when released from the top of a tower of height h reaches the ground in time T. At what time it is at a height `h/2`above the ground?

A

`T/2`

B

`T/4`

C

`T/(sqrt(2))`

D

`sqrt(2T)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
c

`h=(1)/(2)g t^(2)`
Now `(h)/(2)=(1)/(2) g t^(2):. (1)/(2)((1)/(2)g t^(2))=(1)/(2) g t^(2)implies t=(t)/(sqrt(2))`
