A stone is dropped off a 576-ft cliff. The height of the stone above the ground is given by the equation h=-162²+576, where h is the stone's height in feet, and t is the time in seconds after the stone is dropped (t≥0). Find the time required for the stone to hit the ground. The time required for the stone to hit the ground is sec. X
