Textbook Question
Chapter 2, Problem 11P
Develop, debug, and test a program in either a high-level language or a macro language of your choice to compute the velocity of the falling parachutist as outlined in Example 1.2. Design the program so that it allows the user to input values for the drag coefficient and mass. Test the program by duplicating the results from Example 1.2. Repeat the computation but employ step sizes of 1 and 0.5 s. Compare your results with the analytical solution obtained previously in Example 1.1. Does a smaller step size make the results better or worse? Explain your results.

The fixed cost to produce the doll is $100,000. The variable cost, which includes material, labor, and shipping costs, is $31 per doll. During the holiday selling season, FTC will sell the dolls for $39 each. If FTC overproduces the dolls, the excess dolls will be sold in January through a distributor who has agreed to pay FTC $10 per doll.
