    I believe that L is in feet while t is in seconds. To find for the hang time, all we have to do is to plug in the value of L in feet in the equation.

    4 inches is equivalent to 4/12 feet or 0.33 feet, therefore the total L is:

    L = 4.33 ft

    Using the equation to find for t:

    L = 4 t^2

    4.33 = 4 t^2

    t = 1.04 s
