       If a body is projected vertically downward with some initial velocity

                   \begin{array}{l}{\text { Equation of motion: } \quad v=u+g t} \\ {\qquad \begin{array}{ll}{h=} & {u t+\frac{1}{2} g t^{2}} \\ {v^{2}} & {=u^{2}+2 g h} \\ {h_{n}} & {=u+\frac{g}{2}(2 n-1)}\end{array}}\end{array}

        

\begin{array}{l}{\text { By formula } h_{n}=u+\frac{1}{2} g(2 n-1) \Rightarrow u-\frac{10}{2}[2 \times 5-1]=2\left\{u-\frac{10}{2}[2 \times 6-1]\right\}} \\ {\Rightarrow u-45=2 \times(u-55) \Rightarrow u=65 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}}\end{array}
