A particle when projected vertically upwards the grounds takes time T to reach maximum height H.

Let initial velocity of particle is u

final velocity of particle (velocity at maximum height) , v = 0

so, using formula, v² = u² + 2aS

here , v = 0, a = -g and S = H

so, 0 = u² - 2gH

or, H = u²/2g ......(1)

and time taken to reach maximum height is T

so, v = u + at

or, 0 = u - gT => T = u/g.....(2)

now, using formula S = ut + 1/2 at² for other two cases.

7H/16 = ut1 + 1/2(-g)t1²

or, 7H/16 = ut1² - 1/2gt1² ....(3)

similarly, 7H/16 = ut2 - 1/2gt2² .....(4)

from equations (3) and (4) it seems that t1 and t2 are roots of quadratic equations 7H/16 = ut - 1/2gt² or 8gt² - 16ut + 7H = 0

so, sum of roots = t1 + t2 = 16u/8g = 2u/g

from equation (2),

t1 + t2 = 2T..........(5)

now product of roots = t1.t2 = 7H/8g

from equations (1),

t1.t2 = 7u²/16g²

= (7/16)(u/g)²

[ from equation (2), T = u/g]

t1.t2= (7/16)T² ......(6)

now, can we find (t2 - t1) from equations (5) and (6),

t2 - t1 = √{(t1 + t2)² - 4t1.t2}

= √{4T² - 4 × 7/16T²}

= √{16T² - 7T²}/2

= 3T/2 = .....(7)

now from equations (5) and (7),

t2 = (7/4)T

t1 = (1/4)T

so, ratio of t1 and t2 = (1/4) : (7/4) = 1 : 7
