A skydiver equipped with parachute and other essential equipment falls from rest toward the earth. The total weight of the man plus the equipment is 160 lb. Before the parachute opens, the air resistance (in pounds) is numerically equal to v, where v is the velocity (in feet per second). The parachute opens 5 sec after the fall begins; after it opens, the air resistance (in pounds) is numerically equal to v?, where v is the velocity (in feet per second). Find the velocity of the skydiver (A) before the parachute opens, and (B) after the parachute opens.
