8. A 4.70 m long pole is balanced vertically on its tip. What will be the speed (in meters/second) of the tip of the pole just before it hits the ground? (Assume the lower end of the pole does not slip.)

Question

I did V^2=0^2+2(9.8)(4.70) and was wrong. I did remember to square root at the end. My answer was 9.60 m/s.
