Options:
  • A \( 4 \mathrm{~cm} \)
  • B \( 8 \mathrm{~cm} \)
  • C \( 6 \mathrm{~cm} \)
  • D \( 4 \sqrt{2} \mathrm{~cm} \)

The correct answer is: \( 8 \mathrm{~cm} \)
(B)
\[
\begin{array}{l}
v=\sqrt{2 g h}=\sqrt{2 \times 10 \times 2}=\sqrt{40} \\
t=\sqrt{\frac{2 h}{g}} \\
R=v \cdot t=\sqrt{40^{4}} \sqrt{\frac{2 \times 8}{10}}=8 \mathrm{~cm}
\end{array}
\]
