Question

A projectile is thrown with velocity v making an angle θ with the horizontal. It just crosses the top of two poles, each of height h, after 1 second and 3 second respectively. The time of flight of the projectile is

Options

A.1 s
B.3 s
C.4 s
D.7.8 s

Solution

t(OS)  = 1 sec           
t(OT) = 3
or  t(ST)  =  t(OT) − t(OS) = 3 − 1 = 2 sec       
∴    t(SM) =  t(ST) = 1 sec.
∴    t(OM) =  t(OS) + t(SM) = 1 + 1  = 2sec.
∴    Time of flight = 2 × 2 = 4 sec.  Ans. ″C″
