ML>Actually at sea level, the gravitational constant is 32.1740485564...
ML>ft/sec^2.
Depends on latitude, and if you are going to that many places, local 
density variations in the crust.  There is a place in the indian ocean 
where satellites take a dip in their orbit because of a major density 
difference in the crust.
ML>If the object was at rest and released in a vacuum at sea level, in one

ML>seconds it would be at 64 fps, at three seconds, 96 fps, and so on.
ML>(OK, so I rounded.)
Yeah, but then it would be dropping below sea level...  :-)
ML>I don't know what the bullet's "density" would have to do with it, but
ML>the mass, the drag coefficient, the air density, and the cross sectional

Density was just a way of combining mass with frontal or swept area.
