Members of a skydiving club were given the following data to use in planning their jumps. In the table, d is the distance fallen from rest by a sky diver in a “free-fall stable spread position,” versus the time of fall t. (a) Convert the distances in feet into meters. (b) Graph d (in meters) versus t. (c) Determine the value of the terminal speed VT by finding the slope of the straight portion of the curve. Use a least-square fit to determine this slope. t (s) d (ft) t (s) d (ft) 1 16 11 1 309 2 62 12 1 483 3 138 13 1 657 4 242 14 1 831 5 366 15 2 005 6 504 16 2 179 7 652 17 2 353 8 808 18 2 527 9 971 19 2 701 10 1138 20 2 875
