AS THE ROCKET GOES UP AGAINST EARTHS GRAVITATIONAL FORCE , ITS VELOCITY REDUCES,GIVEN BY ACCELERATION DUE TO GRAVITY =-9.8 M/SEC^2..THE FORMULA TO BE USED IS
S = UT + (G/2)T^2....WHERE
U = INIYIAL VELOCITY = 800 M/SEC
T = TIME ELAPSED IN SECS.
G=ACCELERATION DUE TO GRAVITY = - 9.8 M/SEC^2 FOR UPWARD TRAVEL...SO..WE GET
32000 = 800T -(9.8/2)T^2=800T-4.9 T^2
4.9T^2-800T+32000 =0

T=70.1 WHILE GOING UP AND
T=93.2 WHILE FALLING DOWN.
