When the body falls from the height :
u = 0,
s = 10 m ,
Using the equation v2=u2+2as
v2 = 0 + 2g×10
v = √20g
The velocity when it touches the sand is √20g
So when the body pierces through sand : u = √20g, v=0, s = 1 m
v2=u2+2as
0=(√20g)2+2a
-a = 20g / 2
-a = 10 g
The average retardation in sand faced by the body is 10 g
