An object falling vertically through the air is subjected to viscous resistance as well as to the force of gravity. Assume that an object with mass m is dropped from a height so and that the height of the object after t seconds is s(1) = 50 where g = 32.17 f/s² and k represents the coefficient of air resistance in Ib-s/ft. Suppose so = 300 ft, m = 0.25 lb, and k =0.1 lb-s/ft. Find, to within 0.01 s, the time it takes this quarter-pounder to hit the ground.
