Find the terminal velocity of a skydiver of weight w = 192 pounds (lb) if k = 1.2

Chapter 9, Problem 14

(choose chapter or problem)

Find the terminal velocity of a skydiver of weight w = 192 pounds (lb) if k = 1.2 lb-s/ft. How long does it take him to reach half of his terminal velocity if his initial velocity is zero? Mass and weight are related by w = mg, and Eq. (3) becomes v = (kg/w)(v + w/k) with g = 32 ft/s2.
