Question

A ball is released from rest from top of a tower. The retardation due to air resistance is bv, where b is 10 per second and velocity v is ms-1. The velocity of ball at t=110s is n27ms1 The value of n (Given, e=2.7) is _________.

Difficult
Solution

 The acceleration of ball at instant t is a=gbv

 a=gbv

 Or dvdt=gbv or 0vdvgbv=0tdt Or  12[ln(gbv)]0v=[t]0t

 Or [ln(gbv)lng]=bt Or lngbvg=bt

 Or  1bvg=ebt or bvg=1ebt Or  v=gb1ebt=101011e

 =e1e=2.712.7=727=n27 n=7
