QUESTION:
Problem 70P
· An 88-kg parachutist descends through a vertical height of 380 m with constant speed. Find the increase in entropy produced by the parachutist, assuming the air temperature is 21 °C.
ANSWER:
Step 1 of 3
We have to find out the increase in entropy of the parachutist.
Here, we have to find out the change in entropy of the system.
The equation for the change in entropy is,
--------------------(1)
Where, - Change in heat
- temperature of the system
