Aicharya · Accepted Answer

&#8658; For upward motion of helicopter v 2 = u 2 + 2 a s v 2 = 0 + 2 g h v = 2 g h &#8658; Now particle will start moving under gravity. s = u t + 1 2 a t 2 - h = 2 g h t - 1 2 g t 2 then t = 2 g h &#177; 2 g h + 4 &#215; g 2 &#215; h 2 &#215; g 2 t = 2 g h g ( 1 + 2 ) t = 2 h g ( 1 + 2 )
