Answer: the required height is 2.5 m

Explanation:

given the given data in question

Lime to come in rest;

using S = ((U1 + U2)/2) t

⇒ 0.5 = ((√(2gh) + 0)/2) t

t = (0.5 × 2) / √(2gh)

now fat = impulse = change in momentum dp

F = 5mg = dp/dt = [(m√(2gh))/(0.5 × 2)] × √(2gh)

5mg = 2mgh/(0.5 × 2)

5 = h / 0.5

h = 5 × 0.5

h = 2.5 m

Therefore the required height is 2.5 m
