Question
25. Falling parachutist As in Problem 25 of Section 2.4,
you bail out of a helicopter and immediately open your
parachute, so your downward velocity satisfies the initial
value problem
dv
= 32 – 1.6v, v (0) = 0
dt
(with t in seconds and v in ft/s). Use the improved Euler
method with a programmable calculator or computer to
approximate the solution for 0 < t $ 2, first with step size
h = 0.01 and then with h = 0.005, rounding off approx-
imate v-values to three decimal places. What percentage
of the limiting velocity 20 ft/s has been attained after 1
second? After 2 seconds?
