Chapter 5, Problem 5.42E
(a) In Example 5.18 (Section 5.3), what value of D is required to make υt = 42 m/s for the skydiver? (b) If the skydiver’s daughter, whose mass is 45 kg, is falling through the air and has the same D (0.25 kg/m) as her father, what is the daughter's terminal speed?

A woman stands on a scale while riding in an elevator. When the elevator is at rest, the scale reads 60kg. What will be the reading of the scale in kg when the elevator accelerates. (a) upward at 1.2 m/s^2. (b) downward at 1.2 m/s^2. (c) At what acceleration of the elevator would the person appear to be weightless? Draw the FBD of the problem.
A 4.5-kg object is dropped vertically (with zero horizontal speed) from a tall
building with an initial velocity 6.6 m/s (positive is downwards). Due to
aerodynamic drag, the object's downward acceleration is given by a = g -(k/m)*v2
where g is acceleration due to gravity (use 9.81 m/s?) and k = 0.19 kg/m is a
coefficient related to aerodynamic drag. Determine the distance the object will fall
to reach 90% of its terminal velocity. Assume the building is tall enough so that the
object can reach that speed and that g is constant.
Hints:
• First, calculate the object's terminal velocity. This occurs when the acceleration
of the object is zero.
•Szdx = In|æ| + c and S
= In|f(x)| +c
