arctan( v * (k/g)^0.5 ) / (k/g)^0.5 = t
I need to solve for k.
Thanks for the help!

this is an equation that you should solve graphically or through predictor corrector methods; since this involves trig functions, you will not be able to solve it as you would a typical algebraic equation
if you know, say that k/g is small compared to 1, then you could do series expansions, but the best way to solve this is graphically or by predictor/corrector

Simplest is to go to www.wolframalpha.com and feed your equation (after putting values for all constants). The website automatically graphs the function and solves it :-)
