Solution

The correct option is C $3.25 m$
Let $h$ be the height of sill from the window.

Initial velocity of the pot was zero and taking downward direction positive,
$h = u t + \frac{1}{2} g t^{2}$
$\Rightarrow h = 0 + \frac{1}{2} \times 10 \times (\frac{1}{2})^{2}$
$\Rightarrow h = 1.25 m$
Hence height of window sill from ground $= 1.25 + 2 = 3.25 m$

A steel ball is dropped from a building's roof and passes a window, taking 1s to fall from the top to the window to the bottom of the window, a distance of 10m. It then falls to a sidewalk and bounces back past the window, moving from bottom to top in 1s. Assume that the upward flight is an exact reverse of the fall. The time the ball spends below the bottom of the window is 2s. How tall is the building?

The correct option is C 3.25 m Let h be the height of sill from the window. Initial velocity of the pot was zero and taking downward direction positive, h=ut+12gt2 ⇒h=0+12×10×(12)2 ⇒h=1.25 m Hence height of window sill from ground =1.25+2=3.25 m
