A bomb is projected with $200\,m/s$ at an angle $60^o$ with horizontal. At the highest  point, it explodes into three particles of equal masses. One goes vertically upward with  velocity $100\,m/sec$, second particle goes vertically downward with the same velocity as  the first. Then what is the velocity of the third one-

A projectile is fired with velocity $u$ at an angle $\theta$ with horizontal. At the highest point of its trajectory it splits up into three segments of masses $m, m$ and $2 \,m$. First part falls vertically downward with zero initial velocity and second part returns via same path to the point of projection. The velocity of third part of mass $2 \,m$ just after explosion will be
