Compute the vertex coordinates (maximum value ) and from that compute initial speed.

Hello Malabika ji,

Can you please expand your hint? 

I understand that y co-ordinate of vertex is 5. We consider the axes as t (x axis) and H (y axis). 

Further, at H=5, slope of curve is zero. After this we have linear equation in 2 variables t and u. Even though u is constant, we don't know it's value. So, we have to find t (x co-ordinate of vertex). How to proceed from here?

Thanks,
Shyam.

Ordinate [y value, here H(t)] of vertex =5 and x(t here) value of vertex  is (-b/2a=u/20)
Then put the values in the equation and compute u.

Yes, absolutely.
Plug in the value for t(at vertex) in the given equation, then solve for u.
That's all!

Best,

Anirban

Need more explanation for this question, I got Symmetry as u/20, hence forth how to proceed
