Reference no: EM13662601

Assume that the terminal speed of a particular sky diver is 180 km/h in the spread eagle position and 305 km/h in the nosedive position. Suppose that the diver's drag coefficient C does not change from one position to the other, obtain the ratio of the effective cross sectional area A in the slower position to that in the faster position (Aslower /Afaster).
