Chapter 9, Problem 24P
In February 1955, a paratrooper fell 370 m from an airplane without being able to open his chute but happened to land in snow, suffering only minor injuries. Assume that his speed at impact was 56 m/s (terminal speed), that his mass (including gear) was 85 kg, and that the magnitude of the force on him from the snow was at the survivable limit of 1.2 × 105 N. What are (a) the minimum depth of snow that would have stopped him safely and (b) the magnitude of the impulse on him from the snow?

The drag force, D, on a plate moving with a velocity of (40.0 ± 0.2) km/h through air
of density p = ( 1.200 ±0.010) kg/m3, with a surface area of (100.00 ± 0.5mm) x
(30.00 ± 0.05cm) is given by
D = Cd p AV²
where Ca= 2.1 is a non-dimensional constant.
What is the drag force D?
30.00 cm
100.00mm
O D = 9.33 ± 0.233 N
D = 8.9±0.2kg
D =0.89±0.22 N
D = 9.33 ± 2.33 x 101 N
D = 9.3 ± 0.2 N
A 547g squirrel with a frontal surface area of 0.0145m2 falls to the ground from a 5.3m tree. Assume the density of air is 1.21kg/m3. Neglecting the drag force, what is the velocity, in meters per second, of a 56kg person after falling, from rest, by that same distance?
Consider an airplane whose takeoff speed is "240 km/h" and that takes 15 s to take off at sea level. The density of
standard air is \rho 1 = 1.225 kg/m3 at sea level and \rho 2 = 1.048 kg/m3 at 1600 m altitude. For an airport at an
elevation of 1600 m (such as Denver), calculate the takeoff speed. The takeoff speed at an altitude of 1600 m is km/h.

- Like friction, drag force opposes the motion of a particle in a fluid; however, drag force depends on the particle's velocity. Find the expression for the particle's velocity v(x) as a function of position at any point x in a fluid whose drag force is expressed as Fdrag = kmv where k is a constant, m is the mass of the particle and v is its velocity. Assume that the particle is constrained to move in the x-axis only with an initial velocity v0. Solution: The net force along the x-axis is: ΣF = -F = m then: -mv = m Since acceleration is the first time derivative of velocity a = dv/dt, -mv = m We can eliminate time dt by expressing, the velocity on the left side of the equation as v = dx/dt.
