As in of Section 6.1, you bail out of a helicopter and immediately open your parachute

Chapter 6, Problem 6.2.25

(choose chapter or problem)

As in of Section 6.1, you bail out of a helicopter and immediately open your parachute, so your downward velocity satisfies the initial value problem dv dt = 32 - 1.6v, v(O) = 0 (with t in seconds and v in ftls). Use the improved Euler method with a programmable calculator or computer to approximate the solution for 0 ;' t ;' 2, first with step size h = 0.01 and then with h = 0.005, rounding off approximate v-values to three decimal places. What percentage of the limiting velocity 20 ftls has been attained after 1 second? After 2 seconds?
