Question 995924: The formula t = sqrt (d)/4 represents the distance (d), in feet, that an object falls in t seconds, assuming that the air resistance does not slow down the object. In an object fall from a top of a building with a height of 1,730 feet, how long will it reach the ground?

t-sqrt(d)/4;
square both sides
t^2=d/16
d=16 t^2
1730=16 t^2
1730/16=t^2=133.07
t=11.54 sec
