A stone of mass m falls from the top of a tower of height 150 m. The stone's position y (measured down from the top of the tower where y=0) as a function of time is given as: mg k -t- where g is the gravitational acceleration and k is the air resistance coefficient. Assuming that m = 0.5 kg, g = 9.81 m/s² and k = 0.01 kg/m, find numerically the time required for the stone to hit the ground? (Achieve an accuracy of six decimal places)
