Expert Answer:
Let us approach this interesting question with a step-by-step method:
1) The weight of the stone is a redundant value, not used in calculation.
2) At the time of falling, its initial velocity is u=0 m/s, the displacement s=100 and acceleration due to gravity g=-9.8 m/s2.
3) Applying above values in the formula, v2=u2+2as, we get the velocity when the stone just reaches the bottom of the tower and is about to penetrate the sand.
4) For penetration of stone inside the sand, the above calculated 'v' will now be initial velocity i.e 'u' and at the end of penetration, the final velocity v=0.
5) Applying above values in formula, v2=u2+2as, we get the acceleration 'a' of stone penetration in sand.
6) Using the initial velocity of sand penetration 'u', final velocity at the end of penetration v=0 and above calculated 'a' in sand in the formula v=u+at, we get the time taken to penetrate the sand by 2 m.

- Equation for position time relation
- Two balls are dropped to the ground from different heights. one ball is dropped two second after the other but both hit the ground at the same time if the first ball takes 6 second to reach the ground then what is the initial difference between their heights take g is equal to 10 metre per second square
- a rocket which is moving with velocity 50m/s. eject out its secondary engine and its start to accelerate with 5m/s². for next 10 seconds while entering into space. than it moves with uniform velocity. calculate this uniform velocity and the distance covered in 27 seconds. after ejection of secondary engine.
