A stone is allowed to fall from the top ...

A stone is allowed to fall from the top of a tower 300 m height and at the same time another stone is projected vertically up from the ground with a velocity `100 ms^(-1)` . Find when and where the two stones meet ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Suppose the two stones meet at a height x from ground after t seconds.
`x=100t-1/2gt^(2) ……..(1)`
`300-x=0+1/2 gt^(2) ……..(2)`
Solve 1,2
t=3 sec, x=255.9m
