A body is thrown horizontally with a velocity `sqrt(2gh)` from the top of a tower of height h. It strikes the leverl ground through the foot of the tower at a distance x from the tower. The value of x is:-

A

h

B

`h//2`

C

`2h`

D

`2h//3`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Time to fall `=sqrt((2xxh)/(g))`
Range = Horizontal velocity `xx`
`x=sqrt(2gh)xxsqrt((2h)/g)=2h`
