Chapter 28, Problem 45P
Suppose that, after falling for 13 s, the parachutist from Examples 1.1 and 1.2 pulls the rip cord. At this point, assume that the drag coefficient is instantaneously increased to a constant value of 55 kg/s. Compute the parachutist's velocity from

An object is shot upward from the ground with an initial velocity of 640 ft/sec, and
experiencés a constant deceleration of 32 ft/sec² due to gravity as well as a deceleration of
(v(t) / 10) ft/sec due to air resistance, where v(t) is the object's velocity in ft/sec.
(a) Set up and solve an initial-value problem to determine the object's velocity v(t) at time
t.
(b) At what time does the object reach its highest point?
3. Using the trial function uh(x) = a sin(x) and weighting function wh(x) = b sin(x) find
an approximate solution to the following boundary value problems by determining the value
of coefficient a. For each one, also find the exact solution using Matlab and plot the exact
and approximate solutions. (One point each for: (i) finding a, (ii) finding the exact solution,
and (iii) plotting the solution)
a.
(U₁xx - 2 = 0
u(0) = 0
u(1) = 0
b. Modify the trial function and find an approximation for the following boundary value
problem. (Hint: you will need to add an extra term to the function to make it satisfy
the boundary conditions.)
(U₁xx - 2 = 0
u(0) = 1
u(1) = 0
Use bisection to determine the drag coefficient needed so that an 80-kg parachutist has a velocity of 36 m/s after 4 s of free fall. Note: The acceleration of gravity is 9.81 m/s2 . Start with initial guesses of xl = 0.1 and xu = 0.2 and iterate until the approximate relative error falls below 2%.
