A skydiver weighing 750N jumps from a plane and reaches

Q.2 A skydiver weighing 750N jumps from a plane and reaches terminal velocity due to wind resistance. If CD = 1.2 and the frontal area in free fall is 1 m2, what is the final terminal velocity? If the skydiver now has a parachute which can be modeled as a semi-circular cup with a diameter of 6 m, what is the new terminal velocity? Assume the density of air at 3000m and give clear reasons for all assumptions made.
