Over the weekend I went on a saltwater fishing trip,and had a thought or two,but couldn't figure it all out.
Here's the thought: If I could get the fishing line with the heavy sinker to stop just before it hit bottom,I wouldn't have to wait for all the silt that washed up from it hitting bottom to clear up.How long would it take for a 10oz sinker to free-fall through 250feet of water(assuming no drag).
The physics formula for calculating air drop would be ...
D = ((1/2 AT^)V1T))
where D is distance
A is acceleration
T is time
V is Velocity
I remember A being 10meters/sec.,but that is for air test as it is acceleration to the ground.
250ft is just under 77 meters
