5.2 Exercise 5

Avg difficulty 2.5

The terminal velocity of a person falling in air depends upon the weight and the area of the person facing the fluid. Find the terminal velocity (in meters per second and kilometers per hour) of an 80.0-kg skydiver falling in a headfirst position with a cross-section area facing the fluid of 0.140 m20 . \text{140} \text{ m}^{2}.
