As the skydiver moves downward with a speed v, the air drag exerted by the parachute on the skydiver has a magnitude Fa = Cav² (Cd is a drag coefficient) and a direction op- posite to the direction of motion. Determine the expression of the skydiver's acceleration in terms of C, v, the mass of the skydiver m, and the acceleration due to gravity.
