A very strong, but inept, shot putter puts the shot straight up with an initial velocity of 10.0 m/s. How long does he have to get out of the way if the shot was released at a height of 2.30 m, and he is 1.80 m tall (he could end up shorter)?

A very strong, but inept, shot putter puts the shot straight up vertically with an initial velocity of $11.0 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$. How long a time does he have to get out of the way if the shot was released at a height of $2.20 \mathrm{m}$ and he is $1.80 \mathrm{m}$ tall?
