n=1

Explanation:

Kinematic equation for free fall under gravity is given by
h=ut+12gt2.
uandt are initial velocity and time of fall to reach ground respectively.

  • Height of 9th storeys of the building h, is found by inserting given values
    h=0×3+12×10×32=45m
    Height of each storey=459=5m

  • Height dropped in first second is
    h1=0×3+12×10×12=5m

  • Now height dropped in first second 5m
    =n×height of each storey
    n=1
