(B) To just hit the $5^{	ext{th}}$ step,the ball must travel a horizontal distance of $x_d = 5 	imes 0.1 = 0.5 \ m$ and a vertical distance of $y_d = 5 	imes 0.1 = 0.5 \ m$. However,the problem states it 'just hits' the $5^{	ext{th}}$ step,meaning it clears the edge of the $4^{	ext{th}}$ step. For the ball to land on the $5^{	ext{th}}$ step,it must have covered a horizontal distance $x = 5 	imes 0.1 = 0.5 \ m$ and a vertical drop $y = 5 	imes 0.1 = 0.5 \ m$. Using the equation of trajectory for a projectile launched horizontally: $y = \frac{1}{2} \frac{g x^2}{u^2}$. Substituting the values: $0.5 = \frac{1}{2} 	imes \frac{10 	imes (0.5)^2}{u^2}$. $0.5 = 5 	imes \frac{0.25}{u^2}$. $u^2 = \frac{1.25}{0.5} = 2.5$. Wait,re-evaluating: To hit the $5^{	ext{th}}$ step,the ball must clear the $4^{	ext{th}}$ step. The coordinates of the edge of the $n^{	ext{th}}$ step are $(n 	imes 0.1, n 	imes 0.1)$. For the ball to land on the $5^{	ext{th}}$ step,it must pass through $(0.5, 0.5)$. $0.5 = \frac{1}{2} 	imes 10 	imes (\frac{0.5}{u})^2 \implies 0.5 = 5 	imes \frac{0.25}{u^2} \implies u^2 = 2.5$. If the question implies hitting the edge of the $5^{	ext{th}}$ step,$x=2.5$. Given the options,if it hits the $4^{	ext{th}}$ step edge,$x=2$. Let's assume $x=2$ as per the provided solution logic.

$A$ ball rolls off the top of a stairway with horizontal velocity $u$. The steps are $0.1 \ m$ high and $0.1 \ m$ wide. The minimum velocity $u$ with which the ball just hits the $5^{\text{th}}$ step of the stairway will be $\sqrt{x} \ ms^{-1}$ where $x=$ . . . . . . [use $g=10 \ ms^{-2}$].
