Let A be the highest point and h’ the distance between the point p and A. Here, tp = time taken in going from p to A and again from A to p A O q p h h' time taken in coming from A to p = p t 2 . Similary, time taken in falling from A to q = q t 2 . Now, h’ = 2 2 p p 1 t gt g 2 2 8     =   ....(i) and h’ – h = 2 2 q q 1 t gt g 2 2 8     =   ....(ii) Subtracting (ii) from (i), we get h = 2 2 p q 2 2 p q gt gt g (t t ) 8 8 8 − = − or, g = 2 2 p q 8h
