Determine the velocity at which he lands on the ground

Reference no: EM13314146

A parachutist having a mass of 60kg is falling at 8m/s when the parachute is opened. Due to atmosphere drag, the deceleration equation is 60a=588.6-30v^2 in m/s^2. Find the velocity at which he lands on the ground. This velocity is referred to as terminal velocity, which is found by letting the distance of the fall (y) go to infinity.
