so far I know t = √(2h/g gives me time ... so t=sqrt(2(27)/9.8 = 2.35s Force of wind is F = 0.5 * p * v^2 * A * Cd. i'm assuming drag coeff of 1.2? F=2.6 mass of wind = density * area = M= 1.229 kg/m3 * (3 pi r2 = .000084*1.229= .00010 I need F=ma, solving for A since I have t and need...

sorry I left that off. speed is 25 m/s and direction is parallel to the ground.

this one is our extra credit problem with no instructions. just creative thinking.
