The velocity of the balloon at the height h is
v = √(2ah) = √(2gh/8) = √(gh)/2
Initial velocity of the stone at height h is u = √(gh)/2 upwards
h = ut + gt²/2
put the value of u in the above relation and rearrange the terms to obtain,
(√(gH)/2 )t + gt²/2 – h = 0
(√(gH))t + gt² – 2h = 0
The time taken by the stone to reach the ground can be obtained by solving the above quadratic.
t = 2√[h/g]
