An object falls at a rate of 100 ft/s immediately prior to the time that the parachute attached to it opens. The final descent rate with the chute open is 10 ft/s. Calculate and plot the speed of falling as a function of time from when the chute opens. Assume that the chute opens instantly, that the drag coefficient and air density remain constant, and that the flow is quasisteady.
