To solve this problem we need the concepts of Energy fluency and Intensity from chemical elements.
The energy fluency is given by the equation

Where
The energy fluency
c = Activity of the source
r = distance
E = electric field
In the other hand we have the equation for current in materials, which is given by

Then replacing our values we have that


We can conclude in this part that 1.3*10^7Bq is the activity coming out of the cylinder.
Now the energy fluency would be,



The uncollided flux density at the outer surface of the tank nearest the source is 
Oh gosh oh I see it in my life face and
During upward projection the final velocity is zero, and the gravitational acceleration is -10 m/s² (against the gravity).
Therefore; using the equation;
S = 1/2gt² + ut
Where s is the height h, g is gravitational acceleration, and t is the time and u is the initial velocity u, is 16 ft/s.
Thus; h= 1/2(-10)t² + 16t
We get; h = -5t² + 16t
Therefore; the quadratic equation is 5t² - 16t + h =0
