21.9 Suppose that the upward force of air resistance on a falling
object is proportional to the square of the velocity. For this case, the
velocity can be computed as
gm
tanh
Cd
gCa
v(t) =
m
where c = a second-order drag coefficient. (a) If g = 9.81 m/s²,
68.1 kg, and ca= 0.25 kg/m, use analytical integration to determine
how far the object falls in 10 s. (b) Make the same evaluation, but
evaluate the integral with the multiple-segment trapezoidal rule. Use a
sufficiently high n that you get three significant digits of accuracy.
