a stone is dropped from the top of a tower 100m high and instantly a second stone is projected vertically upward from the bottom with a velocity of 35/√2 metre per second.Find when and where the two stones meet ?

Let t seconds be the time duration for both the stones meet from starting time.
 
Distance h1 travelled by stone dropped from tower,   h1 = (1/2) g t2
 
where g is acceleration due to gravity .
 
Distance h2 travelled by stone thrown vertically upwards from bottom,  
 
h2 = ( u t ) - (1/2) g t2
 
where u = 35/√2 m/s is initial speed
 
h1 + h2 = (35/√2) t - (1/2) gt2 + (1/2) g t2 = 100 m
 
(35/√2) t = 100 m
 
t = ( 100 × √2 ) / 35 = 4.04 s
 
 
h1 = (1/2) × 9.8 × 4.04 × 4.04 ≈ 80 m
 
h2 = ( 100 - 80 ) m = 20 m
 
Hence stones will meet at a distance 20 m from bottom of tower after 4.04 s from initial starting time.
