(Solution) - The velocity of a falling parachutist is given by v -(2025 Original AI-Free Solution)
Paper Details
The velocity of a falling parachutist is given by
v = 8m/c (1 ? e?(e/m)t)
Where g = 9.8 m/s2. For a parachutist with a drag coefficient c = 14 kg/s, compute the mass m so that the velocity is ? = 35 m/s at t = 8s. Use the Goal Seek capability of Excel or a library or package of your choice to determine m.
