Options:
  • A $2 \sqrt{\frac{2 h}{g}}$
  • B $\sqrt{\frac{h}{2 g}}$
  • C $2 \sqrt{\frac{h}{g}}$
  • D $\sqrt{\frac{h}{g}}$

The correct answer is: $2 \sqrt{\frac{h}{g}}$
Given, velocity of particle $=2 \sqrt{g h}$
Angle $(\theta)=60^{\circ}$
Distance covered by particle $=2 h$
Now,
$$
2 h=2 \sqrt{g h} \cos 60^{\circ} t
$$
or,
$\sqrt{h}=\sqrt{g} \times \frac{1}{2} t$
or,
$t=2 \sqrt{\frac{h}{g}}$
