    A particle has been projected from the top of tower as shown in figure. Find the time taken by the particle to reach the ground. Take \[g=10\,\,m/{{s}^{2}}\]

    A)  8s                                          

    B)  6.28 s

    C)  5.6s                                      

    D)  7.07s

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Consider the point of projection as origin and horizontal direction as positive X-axis and vertical upward direction as positive Y-axis. For motion along Y-axis, from \[y={{u}_{y}}t+\frac{{{a}_{y}}{{t}^{2}}}{2}.\] For particle to reach ground, y = - 200 m \[\therefore \] \[-200=(10\sin {{45}^{o}})t-\frac{g{{t}^{2}}}{2}\] The two roots of this quadratic equation are 7.07 sand-5.66s. Negative time is not possible, so required time is 7.07s.
