A body is projected vertically up with velocity u from a tower. It reaches the ground with velocity nu. The height of the tower is `H=u^2/(2g)(n^2-1)`

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we will use the equations of motion under uniform acceleration. The body is projected vertically upward with an initial velocity \( u \) and reaches the ground with a final velocity \( nu \). We need to find the height \( H \) of the tower. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Identify the known variables**: - Initial velocity, \( u \) - Final velocity, \( v = nu \) - Acceleration due to gravity, \( g \) (acting downwards) ...
