The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the time taken by a particle to fall through successive distances of 1 meter each when dropped from rest, we will use the equations of motion under constant acceleration due to gravity. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Variables**: - Let \( g \) be the acceleration due to gravity (constant). - Let \( S_n \) be the distance fallen after \( n \) seconds. - Let \( T_n \) be the time taken to fall through \( S_n \). 2. **Use the Equation of Motion**: The equation of motion for an object falling from rest is given by: \[ S = ut + \frac{1}{2}gt^2 \] Since the particle is dropped from rest, the initial velocity \( u = 0 \). Therefore, the equation simplifies to: \[ S_n = \frac{1}{2}gT_n^2 \] 3. **Calculate Distances**: - For the first distance \( S_n \): \[ S_n = \frac{1}{2}gT_n^2 \] - For the distance \( S_{n+1} \) (which is \( S_n + 1 \)): \[ S_{n+1} = \frac{1}{2}gT_{n+1}^2 \] 4. **Set Up the Equations**: From the above, we have: \[ S_n = \frac{1}{2}gT_n^2 \] \[ S_{n+1} = S_n + 1 = \frac{1}{2}gT_{n+1}^2 \] 5. **Substituting for \( S_{n+1} \)**: Substitute \( S_n \) into the equation for \( S_{n+1} \): \[ \frac{1}{2}gT_n^2 + 1 = \frac{1}{2}gT_{n+1}^2 \] 6. **Rearranging the Equation**: Rearranging gives: \[ \frac{1}{2}gT_{n+1}^2 - \frac{1}{2}gT_n^2 = 1 \] Factor out \( \frac{1}{2}g \): \[ \frac{1}{2}g(T_{n+1}^2 - T_n^2) = 1 \] 7. **Solving for Time Difference**: Multiply both sides by \( \frac{2}{g} \): \[ T_{n+1}^2 - T_n^2 = \frac{2}{g} \] This can be factored as: \[ (T_{n+1} - T_n)(T_{n+1} + T_n) = \frac{2}{g} \] 8. **Finding the Time for 1 Meter**: Let \( \Delta T = T_{n+1} - T_n \). Then: \[ \Delta T (T_{n+1} + T_n) = \frac{2}{g} \] As \( n \) becomes large, \( T_n \) and \( T_{n+1} \) approach the same value, so we can approximate: \[ \Delta T \approx \frac{2}{g} \cdot \frac{1}{2T_n} = \frac{1}{gT_n} \] 9. **Final Expression**: Thus, the time taken to fall through successive distances of 1 meter becomes: \[ \Delta T \approx \sqrt{\frac{2}{g}} \cdot ( \sqrt{n + 1} - \sqrt{n} ) \] ### Conclusion: The time taken by the particle to fall through successive distances of 1 meter is given by the expression derived above, which can be simplified further based on the values of \( n \).

To solve the problem of finding the time taken by a particle to fall through successive distances of 1 meter each when dropped from rest, we will use the equations of motion under constant acceleration due to gravity. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Variables**: - Let \( g \) be the acceleration due to gravity (constant). - Let \( S_n \) be the distance fallen after \( n \) seconds. - Let \( T_n \) be the time taken to fall through \( S_n \). ...
