A ball is dropped from a boat so that it strikes the surface of a lake with a speed of 16.5 ft/s. While in the water the ball experiences an acceleration of a -10-0.8v, where a and v are expressed in ft/s2 and ft/s, respectively. Knowing the ball takes 35s to reach the bottom of the lake, determine (a) the depth of the lake, (b) the speed of the ball when it hits the bottom of the lake. SO
