Question: you have 100 meters of fence to fence in a rectangular area, but one of the sides doesn't need a fence because there's a wall already.

A ball is falling from 25m. The mass of the ball is 2kg. Calculate the exact time of the plane landing in Bangladesh if the sun is seen on the north side of the sky and the course of Euro is 2$.
