During a test a rocket travels upward at 180.4 ft/s and when it is 3200 cm from the ground its engine fails. Determine the maximum height (in m) reached by the rocket and its speed (in m/s) just before it hits the ground. Use the constant acceleration due to gravity and neglect the effect of air resistance.
