Question: An object is dropped into a large reservoir containing a viscous fluid such that it strikes the fluid surface with a velocity of 1 6

An object is dropped into a large reservoir containing a viscous fluid such that it strikes the fluid surface with a velocity of 16.5 m/s. Within the fluid, the object decelerates according to the relation a(v)=0.8v +10 m/s2, where v (in m/s) is the objects velocity. Given that the object takes 3 seconds to reach the bottom of the reservoir, determine: (i) The velocity of the object when it reaches the bottom of the reservoir. (ii) The depth of the reservoir.
