Chapter 13.4, Problem 43P
A parachutist having a mass m opens his parachute from an at-rest position at a very high altitude. If the atmospheric drag resistance is FD = kv2, where k is a constant, determine his velocity when he has fallen for a time t. What is his velocity when he lands on the ground? This velocity is referred to as the terminal velocity, which is found by letting the time of fall t →∞.

A 26-pound weight stretches a certain spring 2 feet when the weight and spring are placed in a fluid that resists motion with a force equal to four times the speed. If the weight is stopped at the equilibrium position and then given a velocity of 5 ft / s, find the equation of motion. The DE that models this phenomenon is y "+ Xy '+ (p/l)y = 0, where X is the resistance force of the medium, p is the weight and l the stretch it produces in the spring.
