The formula v= √2gh gives the velocity v, in feet per second, of an object after it falls h feet accelerated by gravity g, in feet per second squared. If g is approximately 32 feet per second squared, find how far an object has fallen if its velocity is 168 feet per second. The object has fallen from its initial position.
