A 64.3 kg skydiver jumps out of an airplane with a parachute. She decides not to pull the ripcord until she reaches terminal velocity. If the resistive force proportionality constant is 2.35 kg/s, what is the magnitude of the velocity when she decides to pull the cord? (Assume the drag force is proportional to the speed.)
