A wooden ball of weight 196 newtons is dropped vertically from a height of 100 meters above the ground. Throughout the fall, drag is present by a factor 4v due to air resistance, where v is the velocity of the ball at time t (in seconds). After how many seconds will the ball impact the ground? Assume that the net force acting on the ball is modeled by m(dv/dt) = mg – kv, where m is the mass of the ball. Also, assume that there is no initial velocity and that the acceleration due to gravity g is 9.8 meters per second squared. Do not round off intermediate steps. Round off the final answer to two decimal places.
