$$0=u^2-2\left(\frac{W+f}{W}\right)gh\left(forupwardtrip\right)$$$$v^2=2\left(\frac{W-f}{W}\right)gh\left(fordownwardtrip\right)$$$$\Rightarrow \left(\frac{W-f}{W}\right)\left(u^2\right)\left(\frac{W}{W+f}\right)$$$$\Rightarrow \mathit{v}=\mathit{u}\sqrt{\frac{\mathit{W}-\mathit{f}}{\mathit{W}+\mathit{f}}}.$$
