    A stone is thrown vertically upwards with an initial velocity \[u.\]From the top of a tower reaches the ground with a velocity \[3u.\] The height of the tower is:

    A) \[\frac{3{{u}^{2}}}{g}\]                                 

    B)  \[\frac{4{{u}^{2}}}{g}\]

    C)         \[\frac{6{{u}^{2}}}{g}\]

    D)         \[\frac{9{{u}^{2}}}{g}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Since, the stone thrown vertically, therefore initial velocity \[=u.\]final velocity \[=-3u\]and distance \[=-h\]using the relation \[{{v}^{2}}={{u}^{2}}-2gs\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{(-3u)}^{2}}={{u}^{2}}-2g(-h)\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[8{{u}^{2}}=2g\,h\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[h=\frac{4{{u}^{2}}}{g}\]
