We can directly find by v = squrare root of 2*g*h.
So g is 9.82 m/sec.

H is height of the hole above = 50 m.
V = 31.3 m/sec note that here we only consider height above hole.

But we can also find it by velocity = height above hole (50 m) * height or dia of hole (2.5 cm) / 4 (noted dia of hole always take in cm and height above hole take always in meter)
= 31.3 m/sec.

But first equation is priority v = square root of 2gh.
