A ball is bouncing down a set of stairs....

A ball is bouncing down a set of stairs. The coefficient of restitution is e. The height of each step is d and the ball bounces one step at each bounce. After each bounce the ball rebounds to a height h above the next lower step. Neglect width of each step in comparison to h and assume the impacts to be effectively head on. Which of the following relation is correct ?

A

`h=d/(1-e^2)`

B

`h=d/(1+e^2)`

C

`h=d/(1+e)`

D

`h=sqrtd/(1-e^2)`
