Chapter 9, Problem 24P
In February 1955, a paratrooper fell 370 m from an airplane without being able to open his chute but happened to land in snow, suffering only minor injuries. Assume that his speed at impact was 56 m/s (terminal speed), that his mass (including gear) was 85 kg, and that the magnitude of the force on him from the snow was at the survivable limit of 1.2 × 105 N. What are (a) the minimum depth of snow that would have stopped him safely and (b) the magnitude of the impulse on him from the snow?

- The resistance of air to the motion of bodies in free fall depends on many factors, such as the size of the body and its shape, the density and temperature of the air, and the velocity of the body falling through the air. A useful assumption, only approximately true, is that the resisting force takes the form FR = -kủ, where k is a constant whose value in any particular case is determined by factors other than velocity. Consider free fall of an object released from rest. (a) Show that Newton's second law gives d²y = mg dy k- dt та — тg — ku which is equivalent to m dt2 (b) What are the dimensions of k, in terms of mass (M), length (L), and time (T)?
