Description: The figure shows experimental data for the acoustically measured fall time of a small steel sphere falling from various heights. The data is in good agreement with the predicted fall time of sqrt(2h/g), where h is the height and g is the acceleration of gravity. (Data courtesy of E.R. Courtney.)
