The time taken is 1 second
Explanation:
Suppose the first diamond falls for t seconds
The downward displacement S₁ = u t +
g t²
here u = 0 , because it was at rest initially
Thus S₁ =
g t² I
Similarly second diamond moves for time ( t – 0.9 ) sec
The distance covered by it is
S₂ =
g (t – 0.9 )²
The separation between the two is 13 m
Thus S₁ – S₂ = 13 m
or 9 t = 13 – 4 = 9
Hence t = 1 sec
