A box of mass M=108.3 kg and negligible area is launched from an airplane attached to a parachute of area A=168.1 m2. Assume that the drag coefficient of the parachute is C=1.50, that the density of the air is ρ=1.20 kg/m3 and that the acceleration due to gravity is g=10.0 m/s2. Calculate the terminal velocity vT of the set, in m/s, to three significant figures.
