Chapra Problem 2.21
You contact the jumpers used to generate the data in the Table 2.1(below) and measure their frontal areas. The resulting values, which are ordered in the same sequence as the corresponding values in Table 2.1, are
(a) If the air density is rho =1.223 kg/m^3 and the gravitational constant g =9.81 m/s^2, use MATLAB to compute values of the dimensionless drag coefficient C_D.
Hint: Use (Eq.2.2) for C_D where c_d is from (Eq.2.1).
(b) Determine the average, minimum, and maximum of the resulting values.
function [C_D,stats]= Chapra_Problem_2p21( V_t, m, A, rho, g )
