$A$ ball falls vertically downward and bounces off a horizontal floor. The speed of the ball just before reaching the floor $(u_1)$ is equal to the speed just after leaving contact with the floor $(u_2)$,where $u_1 = u_2$. The corresponding magnitudes of accelerations are denoted respectively by $a_1$ and $a_2$. The air resistance during motion is proportional to speed and is not negligible. If $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity,then:

$A$ stone is thrown vertically upwards with a velocity $V_0$ from a tower of height $h$ and it reaches the ground in time $t_1$. If the stone is thrown downwards with the same velocity $V_0$ from the same tower,it reaches the ground in time $t_2$. If the stone is dropped from the tower,it reaches the ground in time $t$. Find the value of $t$.
