A skydiver weighing 865 N opens his parachute at the appropriate height from the ground. The air exerts a significant upward drag force, which is initially greater than the weight of the diver. This helps to slow the skydiver down. What is the diver's acceleration (both direction and magnitude in m/s2) if the magnitude of the drag force is 1160 N?

By itself, the 2500-kg pickup truck executes a 0-100 km/h acceleration run in 10 s along a level road. If the unit uniformly accelerates from rest to a speed of 25 m/s in a distance of 150 m, determine the tension T in the towing tongue OA. Neglect all effects of the 5° tongue angle, i.e., assume that OA is horizontal.
