    A stone was dropped freely in a river flowing down a bridge. The stone takes 2 s in touching the water surface. The height of the bridge is

    A)  9.8 m  

    B)  19.6m

    C)  39.2 m

    D)  Data inadequate

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Given, t = 2 s Initial velocity of stone, u = 0 The height of the bridge can be obtained by the equations of motion \[s=ut+\frac{1}{2\,}a{{t}^{2}}\] For free fall the equation is h \[=ut+\frac{1}{2}g{{t}^{2}}\] \[\therefore \,\]Height of bridge, h\[=0\times t+\frac{1}{2}\times 9.8\times {{2}^{2}}\] \[(g=9.8m{{s}^{-2}})\] = 19.6 m
