A staircase contains three steps each `10 cm high and 20 cm` wide. What should be the minimum horizontal velocity of the ball rolling off the uppermost plane so as to hit directly the lowest plane ? `("in" m s^-1)`.

h = 30 cm
S = 60 cm `=vsqrt((2h)/g)`
`=v sqrt((2 xx 30)/1000) = vsqrt(3/50)`
`therefore v=60/100 sqrt(50/3) = 3/5 xx 5 sqrt(2/3) = sqrt(3) xx sqrt(2)`
=2.45 m/s
