A boy playing on the roof of a $10 \mathrm{~m}$ high building throws a ball with a speed of $10 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ at an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the horizontal. How far from the throwing point will the ball be at the height of $10 \mathrm{~m}$ from the ground? $ \left[\mathrm{g}=10 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2, \sin 30^{\circ}=\frac{1}{2}, \cos 30^{\circ}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right] $
  1. $5.20 \mathrm{~m}$
  2. $4.33 \mathrm{~m}$
  3. $2.60 \mathrm{~m}$
  4. $8.66 \mathrm{~m}$

Solution

From, the question if the horizontal distance is none other than the horizontal range on the level of the roof of building $ \text { Range }=\frac{\mathrm{u}^2 \sin 2 \theta}{\mathrm{g}}=\frac{(10)^2 \sin (2 \times 30)}{\mathrm{g}}=\frac{10 \times 10 \times \sqrt{3}}{2 \times 10}=8.66 $
