- 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. Fa = -cv ITM EUTM FUTM * UTM TM Fg= -mg x(t) UTM UT UTM /IM LTM UTM UTM TUIM UTM F UT GROUND Figure 1: Force acting on body of free-fall 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: EUTM PUT v(t) = mg -et/m – 1) (Eq. 1.1) x(t) = x(0) – 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…arrow_forwardLet F(x,y)= (a²+1)yi+ (2a)xj.
