Chapter 1, Problem 1.24PP

A body starting from rest with constant acceleration moves according to the relationship $s=\%a{t}^2$, where s = distance, a = acceleration, and t = time.

1.24 An object is dropped from a height of $53$ in. Neglecting air resistance, how long would it take for the body to strike the ground? Use $a=g=32.2ft/s^2$.
