a) A parachutist of mass mkg falls freely until his parachute is opened when it is opened, it experiences an upward resistance kv where v is its speed and k is a positive constant. Prove that after time t from the opening of its parachute, m dv = mg - kv. dt Prove that irrespective of his speed when he opens his parachute, his speed approaches a limiting value of mg provided he falls for sufficiently longtime. k m The parachutist falls freely from rest under gravity for a time and then opens his parachute. Prove 2k that the total distance he has fallen when his velocity is 3mg m2g (8ln2- 1)m. is 4k 8k2
