OpenStudy (kimjafo):

A falling 50-kg skydiver experiences an upward acceleration of 6.2 m/s2 when she opens her parachute. Show (by calculation) how much drag force is produced by the parachute.

OpenStudy (niyex):

simple F=MA substitute the value that all the calculation you need. drag force is the same has the force in F=ma just find f. that simple

OpenStudy (mrnood):

NOt quite that simple. The parachutist ALSO is acted upon by her own weight SO it is the resultant force that creates the acceleration.
