Two different masses are dropped from same height for downward journey under gravity. The larger mass reaches the ground in timet. The smaller mass takes time

A

equal to `sqrt(t)`

B

greater than t

C

less than t

D

equal to t

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
The time taken by both the masses is equal because it is independent of the masses of the bodies.
