From the top of a tower, a stone is thrown up and it reaches the ground in time ` t_1 `A second stone is thrown down with the same speed and it reaches the ground in time `t_2` A third stone is released from rest and it reaches the ground in time The correct relation between ` t_1,t_2` and `t_3` is :

A

` t_3=(1)/(2) (t_1+t_2) `

B

` t_3=sqrt(t_1t_2) `

C

` (1)/(t_3) = (1)/( t_2) -(1)/( t_1) `

D

` (t_2)/( t_3) =(2)/(3) -t(2)/(2)`

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the motion of three stones thrown from the top of a tower and establish a relation between the times taken for each stone to reach the ground. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Define Variables**: - Let \( h \) be the height of the tower. - Let \( u \) be the initial speed of the stones thrown. - Let \( t_1 \) be the time taken by the stone thrown upwards. - Let \( t_2 \) be the time taken by the stone thrown downwards. - Let \( t_3 \) be the time taken by the stone released from rest. 2. **Equation for the stone thrown upwards**: - When the stone is thrown upwards, it first goes up and then comes down. - The equation of motion is: \[ -h = u t_1 - \frac{1}{2} g t_1^2 \] - Rearranging gives: \[ h = u t_1 - \frac{1}{2} g t_1^2 \quad \text{(1)} \] 3. **Equation for the stone thrown downwards**: - For the stone thrown downwards: - The equation of motion is: \[ h = u t_2 + \frac{1}{2} g t_2^2 \quad \text{(2)} \] 4. **Equation for the stone released from rest**: - For the stone released from rest: - The equation of motion is: \[ h = \frac{1}{2} g t_3^2 \quad \text{(3)} \] 5. **Expressing height \( h \) in terms of \( t_1 \) and \( t_2 \)**: - From equation (1): \[ h = u t_1 - \frac{1}{2} g t_1^2 \] - From equation (2): \[ h = u t_2 + \frac{1}{2} g t_2^2 \] 6. **Setting equations for \( h \) equal**: - Setting the two expressions for \( h \) equal gives: \[ u t_1 - \frac{1}{2} g t_1^2 = u t_2 + \frac{1}{2} g t_2^2 \] - Rearranging leads to: \[ u(t_1 - t_2) = \frac{1}{2} g(t_1^2 + t_2^2) \quad \text{(4)} \] 7. **Using equation (3) to relate \( h \) to \( t_3 \)**: - From equation (3): \[ h = \frac{1}{2} g t_3^2 \] - Setting this equal to either equation (1) or (2) will help us find a relation involving \( t_3 \). 8. **Substituting \( h \) from equation (1) into equation (3)**: - We can express \( h \) from equation (1) in terms of \( t_3 \): \[ u t_1 - \frac{1}{2} g t_1^2 = \frac{1}{2} g t_3^2 \] - Rearranging gives: \[ u t_1 - \frac{1}{2} g t_1^2 - \frac{1}{2} g t_3^2 = 0 \] 9. **Finding the relation between \( t_1, t_2, t_3 \)**: - From the previous steps, we can derive: \[ t_3 = \sqrt{t_1 t_2} \] ### Conclusion: The correct relation between \( t_1, t_2, \) and \( t_3 \) is: \[ t_3 = \sqrt{t_1 t_2} \]
