Randall D. Knight — Dynamics I: Motion Along a Line: Problem 36

A 75 kg skydiver can be modeled as a rectangular “box” with dimensions 20 cm $\times$ 40 cm $\times$ 180 cm. What is his terminal speed if he falls feet first? Use 0.8 for the drag coefficient. Use the properties of 20°C air at sea level.

📝 Solution Approach

Given: 75 kg, 20 cm, 40 cm, 180 cm, 20°C
