The answer is 5:3:1

Let the interval be t. Then the first drop of the three has left t sec before, second has 2t sec and the third one at 3t sec. Then the distances covered by them respectively are

0(Drop about to fall), 1/2(t²) (I drop) , 2t² (II drop), 9/2 t²(III drop)

The distances b/w them r in ratio (5/2)t²: (3/2)t² : (1/2)t²= 5:3:1

let the time interval be t. so for first drop the time elapsed is 3t. for second it’s 2t and for third it’s t.

so distance covered by them be s1,s2,and s3 respectively.

s1 = 1/2(g)((3t)^2) -------(1)

s2 = 1/2(g)((2t)^2) -------(2)

s3 = 1/2(g)(t^2) ---------(3)

so ration of drop1,-2and -3 is

from drop3 to drop1

1:4:9

And this is the right answer indeed!!!!

the correct answer is 1:3:5 because after we have taken out the three distances from the top , we need to take out the ratio of distances BETWEEN THE DROPS as this is what has been asked in the question and NOT the ratio of distances of the drops from the top.

Let the acceleration be a which is same for all drops.

Let time for 1^st drop be t, 2^nd drop be 2t, 3^rd drop be 3t.

therefore

distance covered y 1^st drop: u=0, 1/2at^2, 2^nd drop : 2at^2, 3^rd drop : 9at^2/2.

therefore distance between 1^st and 2^nd drop :3/2at^2, 2^nd and 3^rd drop:5/2at^2,1st and 3^rd drop: 4at^2.

therefore the ratio is 3:5:4.

The length of a massless rod is measured using vernier callipers having 10 vernier scale divisions and least count of 0.1 mm. Two masses 1.00 ± 0.01 kg and 4.00 ± 0.02 kg are attached to its ends. If reading of vernier scale is 5 divisions coinciding with 1.3 cm, what is the % error in locating centre of mass from lighter mass
