Water droplets are coming from an open tap at a particular rate. The spacing between a droplet observed at 4?? second after its fall to the next droplet is 34.3 m. At what rate the droplets are coming from the tap? (Take g = 9.8 m/s²)

Option 1 - <p>1 drop / 7 seconds<br>&lt;!-- [if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--&gt;<br>&lt;!--[endif]--&gt;</p>
Option 2 - <p>3 drops / 2 seconds</p>

Correct Option - 3
Detailed Solution:

Displacement in 4? second
= S? - S?
= (1/2)g [2n - 1]
= (1/2)g [2*4 - 1]
= (1/2) * 9.8 * 7
= 34.3m
As this distance matches with data given in question for position of next drop. So drops are falling at the rate of 1 drop/second.
