The formula S = 16t is used to approximate the distance S, in feet, that an object falls freely from rest in t seconds. The height of a building is 1303 feet. How long would it take for an object to fall from the top? The object would fall for seconds. (Simplify your answer. Type an integer or a decimal rounded to the nearest tenth.)
