Chapter 24, Problem 22P
A wind force distributed against the side of a skyscraper is measured as
| Height l, m | 0 | 30 | 60 | 90 | 120 | 150 | 180 | 210 | 240 |
| Force, F(l), N/m | 0 | 340 | 1200 | 1600 | 2700 | 3100 | 3200 | 3500 | 3800 |
Compute the net force and the line of action due to this distributed wind.

A seasoned parachutist went for a skydiving trip where he performed freefall before deploying
the parachute. According to Newton's Second Law of Motion, there are two forcës acting on
the body of the parachutist, the forces of gravity (F,) and drag force due to air resistance (Fa)
as shown in Figure 1.

where x(t) is the position of the parachutist from the ground at given time, t is the time of fall
calculated from the start of jump, m is the parachutist's mass, g is the gravitational acceleration,
v is the velocity of the fall and c is the drag coefficient. The equation for the velocity and the
position is given by the equations below:

Where x(0) = 3200 m, m = 79.8 kg, g = 9.81m/s² and c = 6.6 kg/s. It was established that the
critical position to deploy the parachutes is at 762 m from the ground…
A sky diver weighing 192 lb (including equipment) falls vertically downward from a very high altitude. Assume that the air resistance is proportional to the falling velocity with the constant k = 0.6, the acceleration due to gravity g = 32ft/sec2, and that the positive direction is downward.
What is the terminal velocity of the sky diver if he/she never opens the parachute?
