    Free fall is the motion of the body such that it is only acted upon by the force of gravity. Gravitational acceleration is normally 10 m/s², for a body in free fall the initial velocity (u) is 0.

    Considering an equation of linear motion S = 1/2at² + ut but a=g and u=0

    Therefore, S = 1/2gt², h (2.65 t³) = S = 2.65 * 1.55³ = 9.868

    t² = 2S/g

    t² = 9.868 * 2 / 10

    = 1.9736

    t = √1.9736

    Hence, the time taken will be equivalent to the sqrt of 1.9736 (√1.9736) which is equal to 1.405 seconds.
