A body dropped from the top of the tower covers a distance of 7x in the last second of its journey where x is the distance covered in first second. How much time does it take to reach the ground?

Expert Answer
WE need to use the formulas :- S = u×t + (1/2)g×t2 and v = u + gt
where u is initial speed, v is speed after t seconds, g is acceleration due to gravity and S is distance travelled after t seconds
Distance covered in first second = (1/2) g = x ...............(1)
( In eqn.(1), since the body is dropped from top of tower u = 0 also t = 1 s )
Let the time taken by the body to hit the ground be n seconds
velocity after (n-1) seconds = (n-1)g ...................(2)
distance covered in nth second = (n-1)g+(1/2)g = 7x ..................(3)
using eqn.(1) and eqn.(3), we have, (n-1)g+(1/2)g = (7/2)g or n = 4 seconds
