Solved: A parachutist having a mass m opens his parachute
Chapter 13, Problem 13-43(choose chapter or problem)
A parachutist having a mass m opens his parachute from an at-rest position at a very high altitude. If the atmospheric drag resistance is \(F_{D}=k v^{2}\), where k is a constant, determine his velocity when he has fallen for a time t. What is his velocity when he lands on the ground? This velocity is referred to as the terminal velocity, which is found by letting the time of fall \(t \rightarrow \infty\).
