Question: A 3 2 0 - lb object is released from rest 5 0 0 ft above the ground and allowed to fall under the influence

A 320-lb object is released from rest 500 ft above the ground and allowed to fall under the influence of gravity. Assuming that the force in pounds due to air resistance is -20 v , where v is the velocity of the object in \(\mathrm{ft}/\mathrm{sec}\), determine the equation of motion of the object. When will the object hit the ground? Assume that the acceleration due to gravity is \(32\mathrm{ft}/\mathrm{sec}^{2}\) and let \( x(t)\) represent the distance the object has fallen in t seconds.
Determine the equation of motion of the object.
\[
x(t)=
\]
