Solution

It seems like your question got cut off. However, I can help you start solving the problem with the information given.

First, let's consider the body of mass m that is dropped from a height of h. The time it takes for this body to fall a distance of h/2 can be found using the equation of motion:

h/2 = 1/2 * g * t^2

where g is the acceleration due to gravity and t is the time. Solving for t gives:

t = sqrt((h/2) / (1/2 * g)) = sqrt(h / g)

Now, let's consider the body of mass 2m that is thrown up with velocity v. The time it takes for this body to reach a height of h/2 can be found using the equation of motion:

h/2 = v * t - 1/2 * g * t^2

We know from the problem statement that the two bodies collide at height h/2, which means they must reach this height at the same time. Therefore, we can set the two times equal to each other and solve for v:

sqrt(h / g) = v / g

v = g * sqrt(h / g) = sqrt(gh)

So, the body of mass 2m must be thrown up with a velocity of sqrt(gh) in order for the two bodies to collide at height h/2.

Please provide the rest of the question so I can help you further.
