P1. Rather than the linear relationship for upward resistance force (Fu) in

P1. Rather than the linear relationship for upward resistance force (Fu) in slide 34 of PowerPoint, you might choose to model the upward force on the parachutist as a second-order relationship, F = c'v Where c' is a bulk second order drag coefficient (kg/m). (a) using calculus, obtain the closed-form solution for the case where the jumper is initially at rest (v = 0 at t = 0). (b) consider the example discussed in class where a parachutist of mass 68.1 kg jumps out of a stationary hot air balloon. Compute the velocity of the parachutist using Euler' method for the case where c' = 0.22 kg/m. Employ a step size of 2 s for the calculation.
