I answer this question already and it was correct!
Answer:
time constant will decrease and steady state current will decrease on increasing the resistance
Explanation:
As we know that the EMF of cell is E which is used to connected across a resistor and an inductor.
So we will have

here we know that

now here we have

so if we increase the value of resistance of the wire then the time constant will decrease
and hence it will take less time to reach near the steady state value
also the steady state current will be smaller in that case
The ball rises for v/g seconds; which equals 14.7/9.8=1.5 seconds . After this time, it’s height will be:
h(t)=g/2(1.5)²+14.7(1.5)
=-4.9 x 2.25 + 22.05
=11.025m
The ball then falls for 49+11.025=60.025m, which takes:
g/2t²=60.025
t²=12.25
t=3.5 secs
Total time: 1.5+3.5=5 seconds
