The figure shows a method for measuring the acceleration due to gravity. The ball is projected upward by a gun. The ball passes electronic "gates" and as it rises and again as it falls. Each gate is connected to a separate timer. The first passage of the ball through each gate starts the corresponding timer, and the second passage through the same gate stops the timer. The time intervals and are thus measured. The vertical distance between the two gates is . If , , , find the measured value of acceleration due to gravity . (in ).







The velocity-time graph for the vertical component of the velocity of an object thrown upward from the ground which reaches the roof of a building is shown in the figure. If the height of the building is . Find .
