Suppose an object is dropped from a height h0 above the ground. Then its height after t seconds is given by h = −16t^2 + h0, where h is measured in feet. Use this information to solve the problem.

If a ball is dropped from 263 ft above the ground, how long does it take to reach ground level? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
