23. Homer drops his Nikon over the edge of the cliff at Half Dome, in Yosemite National Park. This cliff is concave, and the Nikon impacts the rocks below, 14.8 seconds later. Calculate the height of the cliff in meters and feet (note that this ignores wind resistance which becomes significant for free fall heights this large)
