If a pilot accelerates at more than 4g, he begins to gray out but doesnt completely lose

Question:

If a pilot accelerates at more than 4g, he begins to “gray out” but doesn’t completely lose consciousness.

(a) Assuming constant acceleration, what is the shortest time that a jet pilot starting from rest can take to reach Mach 4 (four times the speed of sound) without graying out?

(b) How far would the plane travel during this period of acceleration? (Use 331 m s for the speed of sound in cold air.)
