A piano has been pushed to the top of the ramp at the back of a moving van. The workers think it's safe, but as they walk away, it begins to roll down the ramp. If the back of the truck is 1.1 above the ground and the ramp is inclined at 20", how much time (in seconds) do the workers have to get to the piano before it reaches the bottom of the ramp? (Give two significant digits)
