Consider a series of steps as shown. A ball is thrown from O. Find the minimum speed of directly jump to 5th step.

Option 1 -

$5 (\sqrt[]{2} + 1) m / s$

Option 2 -

$5 \sqrt[]{2} m / s$

Option 3 -

$5 \sqrt[]{\sqrt[]{2} + 1} m / s$

Option 4 -

$6 \sqrt[]{\sqrt[]{3} + 1} m / s$

Correct Option - 3

Detailed Solution:

$y = x t a n θ - \frac{g x^{2}}{2 v^{2} c o s^{2} θ}$

(2.5, 2.5) must lie on this

-> $1 = t a n θ - \frac{g \times 2.5}{2 v^{2} c o s^{2} θ}$

-> $\frac{25}{2 v^{2} c o s^{2} θ} = t a n θ - 1$

-> $v^{2} = \frac{25}{2} {\frac{1 + t a n^{2} θ}{t a n θ - 1}}$

-> $v_{m i n} = 5 \sqrt[]{\sqrt[]{2} + 1}$

[Happens when tan θ = $\sqrt[]{2}$ + 1]
