Physics

A horizontal bridge is built across a river. A student standing on the bridge throws a small ball vertically upwards with a velocity $4{\mathrm{m}\mathrm{s}}^{-1}$ . The ball strikes the water surface after $4\mathrm{s}$ . The height of bridge above water surface is (Take $\mathrm{g}=$ $10{\mathrm{m}\mathrm{s}}^{-2}$  ):
