What is the combined weight of the parachutist and parachute

Reference no: EM13711169

Compute all parts of given question:

Question: A parachutist relies on air resistance (mainly on her parachute) to decrease her downward velocity. She and her parachute have a mass of 52.5kg and air resistance exerts a total upward force of 660Non her and her parachute.

Part A: What is the combined weight of the parachutist and parachute?

Part B: Draw a free-body diagram for the parachutist.

Draw the force vectors with their tails at the dot. The orientation of your vectors will be graded. The exact length of your vectors will not be graded but the relative length of one to the other will be graded.

Part C: Calculate the net force on the parachutes?

Part D: What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the parachutist?

Rework your solution from the beginning and check each step carefully. Thanks.
