What was Darryl Griffith's hang time? (V is the vertical leap)
-----------------
Formula:
H(t) = 16t^2 where the t is in seconds and the 16 is in feet
-----------------------
Note: 48 in = 4 feet
------------------------
Equation:
4 = 16t^2
t^2 = 1/4
t = 1/2 seconds
------------------
Total hang time = time up + time down = 1/2 + 1/2 = 1 second
