A parachutist whose mass is 100 kgdrops from a helicopter hovering 3000 m above the ground and falls under the influence of gravity. Assume that the force due to air resistance is proportional to the velocity of the parachutist, with the proportionality constant b3=20 N-sec/mwhen the chute is closed andb4=100 N-sec/m when the chute is open. If the chute does not open until 30 sec after the parachutist leaves the helicopter, after how many seconds will he hit the ground? If the chute does not open until 1 min after he leaves the helicopter, after how many seconds will he hit the ground?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The parachutist reaches at the ground after 30 sec is 206.7 sec and after 1 min is 88.81 sec.

Step by step solution

01

Important hint.

Use Newton鈥檚 method to solve for t

tn+1=tn-ftnf'tn

02

Find the value of t when b3=2N

For finding the weight of the object apply.

ma=mg-b3v100dvdt=759.81-20vdvdt=9.81-0.2vv'+0.2v=9.81v.e0.2t=9.81e0.2tdtv.e0.2t=49.05e0.2t+

When the value of v=0,t=0,thenc=-49.05

v.e0.2t=49.05e0.2t+49.05v=-49.05e-0.2t+49.05v=1-e-0.2t49.05

When the value of t=30,thenv=48.93.

x3t=mgtb3-m2gb231-e-b3tm

When t=30,thenx3=1226.86m

Therefore, when chute opens the parachutist is 3000-1226.86=1773.14m.

03

Find the value of t when b4=100 N.

For finding the value of t apply:

ma=mg-b4v75dvdt=759.81-100vv'+1.33v=9.81......(1)

Solving equation (1) the value of xt.

xt=9.81t+39.121-e-t

When then x=1773.14then t-176.76-3.98e-t=0.

t=176.76(Exponential part is too small)

Thus, the parachute opens after dropping from the helicopter176.76+30=206.76sec.

04

Find the result when parachutist is falling after 1 min 

When the value of then t=60sec,v=49.05thenx60=2697.75

Therefore, the parachutist is 3000-2697.75=302.25mabove so x4=302.25.

Now, the value of xt=9.81t+39.121-e-t.

When x4=302.25then 9.81t-263.01-39.24e-t=0andt=206.7sec.

Hence, the parachute opens after 1 min dropping from the helicopter26.81+60=88.81sec.

Use the fourth-order Runge鈥揔utta subroutine with h= 0.25 to approximate the solution to the initial value problem y'=2y-6,y(0)=1, at x= 1. (Thus, input N= 4.) Compare this approximation to the actual solution y=3-2e2xevaluated at x= 1.

A shell of mass 2 kg is shot upward with an initial velocity of 200 m/sec. The magnitude of the force on the shell due to air resistance is |v|/20. When will the shell reach its maximum height above the ground? What is the maximum height

The pathway for a binary electrical signal between gates in an integrated circuit can be modeled as an RCcircuit, as in Figure 3.13(b); the voltage source models the transmitting gate, and the capacitor models the receiving gate. Typically, the resistance is 100and the capacitance is very small, say, 10-12F(1 picofarad, pF). If the capacitor is initially uncharged and the transmitting gate changes instantaneously from 0 to 5 V, how long will it take for the voltage at the receiving gate to reach (say) ? (This is the time it takes to transmit a logical 鈥1.鈥)
