As we learnt in

Net work done by all the forces give the change in kinetic energy -

W=\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}-\frac{1}{2}mv{_{0}}^{2}

W= k_{f}-k_{i}

- wherein

m=mass \: of\: the\: body

v_{0}= initial\: velocity

v= final\: velocity

 

 

 

Height rises by the ball  =L-\frac{L}{\sqrt{}2}

Therefore conservation of energy =\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}=mg.(L-\frac{L}{\sqrt{}2})

Since kinetic energy change = Work done 

Therefore work done =F.\frac{L}{\sqrt{}2}=mg(L-\frac{L}{\sqrt{}2})

Therefore F=mg(\sqrt{}{2-1})

Correct answer is (1)
