A man, 65 kg, descends to the ground with the help of a parachute, 18 kg. The parachute is hemispherical in shape, 2 m diameter. Density of air can be taken as 0.00125 g/cm' and its kinematic viscosity as 0.15 stoke. What is the terminal velocity of the parachute? (Take Cp = 1.5 and g= 1000 cm/sec?) (b) 15.8 m/sec (d) 14.1 m/sec (a) 16.6 m/sec (c) 15.0 m/sec
