    A ball rolls of the top of a stair way with a horizontal velocity\[u\,m{{s}^{-1}}.\] If the steps are \[h\]  metre high and b metre wide, the ball will hit the edge of the nth step, where \[n\] is

    A) \[\frac{2hu}{g{{b}^{2}}}\]

    B)  \[\frac{2h{{u}^{2}}}{g{{b}^{2}}}\]

    C)  \[\frac{2h{{u}^{2}}}{gb}\]

    D)  \[\frac{h{{u}^{2}}}{g{{b}^{2}}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     Let the ball strike the, nth step after r second. Vertical distance travelled by ball \[=nh=\frac{1}{2}g{{t}^{2}}.\] Horizontal distance travelled by ball \[=nb=ut\] or \[t=\frac{nb}{u}\] \[nh=\frac{1}{2}g{{\left( \frac{nb}{u} \right)}^{2}}\] or \[n=\frac{2{{u}^{2}}}{g}\frac{h}{{{b}^{2}}}\]
