Expert Answer
Let h be the height of the tower.
Given that at t= 10 sec , distance travelled =h / 2
Using the equation , S=ut + (1/2)at2
Here u =0 , a =10 m/s2 , t= 10 sec
S = 0 + (1/2) × 10×(10)2
S = 500 m
So half the height of tower = 500 m
i.e h/ 2 = 500 m
h = 500×2 m
h=1000 m
Total time taken by the ball can be determined by using the equation, S=ut + (1/2)at2
Here S =1000 m , t = ?
1000 = (1/2)×10×t2
t2 = 2000 / 10
t = 14.14 sec
