a stone is released from the top of a tower 100 m high at the same instant another stone is thrown up from the base is the tower with a speed of 25m/s. find when and where the two stones will meet in air (g = 10m/s²)
Answers
- 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
ii) For stone projected upward
(100 - S) = 25t + 1/2 (-10) t²
Adding i) and ii) , We get
100 = 25t
Therefore, Two stones will meet after 4 s.
¡¡¡) Put value of t = 4 s in Equation i) , we get
S = 5 × 16
Thus , both the stone will meet at a distance of 80 m from the top of tower.

Answer:
hey mate
Explanation:
here is your answer
solution :
let the stones meet at R at a distance X from the base of the tower PQ fig 3.15
let t be the time at which the stones meet.
Data : For the stone falling from rest u1 = 0
S1 = - (100 - X) for the stone thrown up
U2 = 25 m/s
S2 = X
s = t - 1/2 gt²
-(100 - X) = -1/2 gt²
= 100 - X = 1/2 gt² (eqn 1)
= S2 = u2t - 1/2 gt²
= X= 25t - 1/2 gt². (eqn 2)
Adding eqs (1) and (2)
100 = 25t
=t = 4s
substituting for t in eq (2)
X = (25m/s) (4s) - 1/2 (10m/s²) (4a)²
= 100 -5 × 16 = 100 - 80
= 20 m
Thus the stones will meet in air 4 second from the start at a height of 20 m from the ground
