A 75 kg cliff-diver is falls from a height through the air head, diving towards the water. The drag coefficient for the diver is 0.83 and the area of the descending diver is 0.21 m^2. Assuming the density of air is equal to 1.21 kg/m^3:
(a) Determine the gravitational force acting on the diver.
select units
(b) Dermine the drag force resisting the motion of the diver at the precise moment in time that the diver falls with a velocity of 83.54 m/s.
select units
(c) What can we say about the motion of the diver at this point?
