A small airplane flying horizontally with a speed of 123 mi/hr at an altitude of 320 ft above a remote valley drops an emergency medical package at A. The package has a parachute which deploys at B and allows the package to descend vertically at the constant rate of 6.0 ft/sec. If the drop is designed so that the package is to reach the ground 38 seconds after release at A, determine the horizontal lead L so that the package hits the target. Neglect atmospheric resistance from A to B. B. Target- Part 1 Calculate the time t₁ at which the parachute opens. BY L Target- 123 mi/hr 123 mi/hr 320¹ 320'
