Anything, regardless of weight, falls at 32 feet per second squared, until it reaches terminal velocity. Assuming no air resistance we need SQRT(27000/32) or 29.05 seconds to splat.

However, Wikipedia puts the terminal velocity of a sky diver at 180.45 feet/second. That speed would be reached in about 6 seconds. 27000/180.45 = 149.63 seconds or 2 and a half minutes.

So you're looking at 2 minutes 33 seconds +/- 3 seconds.

How long does it take to fall 2500 ft?

Assuming that it is a free fall under gravity, that acceleration due to gravity is 32 feet/sec^2, and that air resistance can be ignored, the answer is 3.33... (recurring) minutes.


How long does it take for a 74000 pound plane to fall 6 feet?

That depends on the plane's glide ratio, air speed, and angle of attack,and on how long it has been falling.It does NOT depend on the plane's weight.


A palm tree is 15 feet tall When the coconuts fall how long will it take them to hit the ground if they fall at a foot of a second?

At one foot per second, it would take 15 seconds. The Earth's gravitational pull is 32.2 ft per second squared.
