Question

Two balls of different masses $m_{a}$ and $m_{b}$ are dropped from two different heights $a$ and $b$. The ratio of times taken by the two to drop through these distances is

(a) $a: b$

(b) $b: a$

(c) $\sqrt{a}: \sqrt{b}$

(d) $a^{2}: b^{2}$

Answer 1

The ratio of times taken by the two to drop through these distances will be $\sqrt{a}: \sqrt{b}$. So, The correct option of this question is (C).
