Use kinematics to find the time it will take the rock to fall to the ground.
(delta)x = V(initial)(time) + .5at^2
(delta)x = 0 + .5(-9.8)t^2
First term drops out because initial velocity is zero.
Acceleration is that due to gravity.
Negative sign is because it is accelerating downward, so technically the (delta)x will be negative as well so that you will not be square rooting a negative number.
You should be able to get it from here.
