Unless otherwise stated, in the following problems we assume that the gravitational force is constant with g = 9.81 m/sec² in the MKS system and g = 32 ft/sec² in the U.S. Customary System.

If the object in Problem 2 is released from rest 30 ft above the ground instead of 500 ft, when will it strike the ground? [Hint: Use Newton’s method to solve for t.]
