An object of mass 5 kg is released from rest 24525 m above the ground and allowed to fall under the influence of gravity. Assume the gravitational force is constant, with g=9.8 m/sec2 , and the force due to air resistance is proportional to the velocity of the object with proportionality constant k= 1 kg/sec. Approximate when (in seconds) the object will strike the ground.
