Answer:
Let "t" = time after which both stones meet
"S" = distance travelled by the stone dropped from the top of tower
(100-S) = distance travelled by the projected stone.
◆ i) For stone dropped from the top of tower
-S = 0 + 1/2 (-10) t²
or, S = 5t²
◆ ii) For stone projected upward
(100 - S) = 25t + 1/2 (-10) t²
= 25t - 5t²
Adding i) and ii) , We get
100 = 25t
or t = 4 s
Therefore, Two stones will meet after 4 s.
◆ ¡¡¡) Put value of t = 4 s in Equation i) , we get
S = 5 × 16
= 80 m.
Thus , both the stone will meet at a distance of 80 m from the top of tower.
