$\"25+=+48t%5E2\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by $\"48\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"t%5E2+=+25%2F48\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Take the square root of both sides
\n" ); document.write( " $\"t+=+.722\"$ sec
\n" ); document.write( "the hang time is .722 sec
\n" ); document.write( "Now check answer
\n" ); document.write( " $\"25+=+48%2A.722%5E2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"25+=+48%2A.521\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"25+=+25.02\"$ close enough \n" ); document.write( "
