The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the projectile motion of a particle projected with a velocity of \(2\sqrt{gh}\) that just clears two walls of equal height \(h\) separated by a distance of \(2h\). We will find the time taken for the particle to pass between the walls. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Components of Initial Velocity**: The initial velocity \(u\) of the particle is given as \(2\sqrt{gh}\). We can break this velocity into horizontal and vertical components: \[ u_x = u \cos(\theta) \quad \text{and} \quad u_y = u \sin(\theta) \] However, we will use the total velocity directly since we are not given an angle. 2. **Determine the Time of Flight**: The time of flight \(T\) for a projectile launched at an angle \(\theta\) can be calculated using the formula: \[ T = \frac{2u_y}{g} \] We need to find \(u_y\). 3. **Use the Range Formula**: The range \(R\) of a projectile is given by: \[ R = \frac{u_x \cdot T}{g} \] Since the walls are \(2h\) apart, we have: \[ 2h = u_x \cdot T \] 4. **Relate \(u_x\) and \(u_y\)**: From the vertical motion, we know that the particle reaches the height \(h\) at the walls. Using the equation of motion: \[ h = u_y \cdot t - \frac{1}{2} g t^2 \] At the highest point, \(t = \frac{T}{2}\): \[ h = u_y \cdot \frac{T}{2} - \frac{1}{2} g \left(\frac{T}{2}\right)^2 \] 5. **Substituting for \(T\)**: We can express \(T\) in terms of \(u_y\): \[ T = \frac{2h}{u_x} \] From the horizontal motion, we can express \(u_x\) in terms of \(u_y\): \[ u_x = \sqrt{u^2 - u_y^2} \] where \(u = 2\sqrt{gh}\). 6. **Finding \(u_y\)**: Since the particle just clears the walls, we can find \(u_y\) using the conservation of energy: \[ u_y^2 = u^2 - 2gh \] Substituting \(u = 2\sqrt{gh}\): \[ u_y^2 = (2\sqrt{gh})^2 - 2gh = 4gh - 2gh = 2gh \] Thus, \(u_y = \sqrt{2gh}\). 7. **Calculate the Time of Flight**: Now substituting \(u_y\) back into the time of flight equation: \[ T = \frac{2u_y}{g} = \frac{2\sqrt{2gh}}{g} \] 8. **Finding the Time Between the Walls**: The time taken to pass between the walls is half the total time of flight: \[ t = \frac{T}{2} = \frac{\sqrt{2gh}}{g} \] To express this in the required form, we simplify: \[ t = 2\sqrt{\frac{h}{g}} \] ### Final Result: Thus, the time of passing between the walls is: \[ t = 2\sqrt{\frac{h}{g}} \]
