    A stone is thrown upwards with a speed \['u'\] from the top of a tower. It reaches the ground with a velocity\['3u'\]. Find the height of the tower.

    A) \[\sqrt{3}\]                    

    B)        \[\frac{2{{u}^{2}}}{9}\]

    C) \[\frac{3{{u}^{2}}}{9}\]                                 

    D) \[\frac{4{{u}^{2}}}{9}\]  

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[{{v}^{2}}-{{u}^{2}}=2as,\,\,v=3u,\,\,a=-g,\,\,s=-h\] \[\therefore \]\[{{(3u)}^{2}}-{{u}^{2}}=2(-g)(-h)\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[8{{u}^{2}}=2gh\Rightarrow h=\frac{4{{u}^{2}}}{g}\]
