Galileo releases a cannonball of mass from the top of the leaning tower of Pisa, a vertical height above the ground. Ignoring the rotation of the Earth but assuming that the cannonball experiences a quadratic drag force whose magnitude is (where is the speed of the cannonball), find the time for it to hit the ground in terms of and , the acceleration due to gravity. [You may assume that is constant.]
