A probe of mass 100 kg is coasting through a dense gas cloud in deep space, where g = 0.  There is drag from the gas cloud and it is modeled by the equation -0.6 v (N).  If the probe entered the gas cloud with speed 1,555 m/s, how much time, in s, will it take for the probe's speed to be reduced to 15 percent of its initial velocity? (Please answer to the fourth decimal place - i.e 14.3225)
