TrophyHusband 0 #1 January 27, 2007 doing my math homework today, i came across this problem: "The terminal velocity of a parachutist is directly proportional to the square root of his weight. A 160-lb parachutist attains a terminal velocity of 9 mi/h. What is the terminal velocity for a parachutist weighing 240-lbs?" i got the correct answer, but my question is, what size parachute are these guys jumping?

Squeak 17 #9 January 27, 2007 Quotedoing my math homework today, i came across this problem: "The terminal velocity of a parachutist is directly proportional to the square root of his weight. you could fuk them up because that statement is not true (i know for the purpose of the question it reads true) you in your answer is he wearing a slick suit or baggy, is he tall or short, he is Vert or FlatYou are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS!

TrophyHusband 0 #11 January 27, 2007 the answer is 11 mi/h. my thoughts are that this problem may have been written with the assumption that both paracutists are under the same size round. i was hoping some of our physics geniuses would figure our what size the round is.

PWScottIV 0 #14 January 27, 2007 Yeah, I don't know what these textbook publishers are thinking... I mean for how much I paid for this damn book, they could have at least given this guy a better body position... No stability at all! Lol, maybe he's working on a new position called the monkey... Or maybe he's just distracted and thinking, "Oh shit, I just crapped my jumpsuit!" See attachment...Gravity Waits for No One. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
