A rock is thrown directly up an with an initial velocity of 32.8 m/s at instant A as shown in the figure below. As it moves up, it will reach a certain height  19.6m at insant B. It comes back to the same height during its fall from the maximum height at instant C. Determine the time it takes for the rock to go from A to C. Express your answer using one decimal place in units of seconds.
