Solve the Problem $m$ Falling from Rest Under the Action of Gravity Is Given

question 13

Multiple Choice

Solve the problem.
-The velocity of a body of mass $m$ falling from rest under the action of gravity is given by the equation $\mathrm { v } = \sqrt { \frac { \mathrm { mg } } { \mathrm { k } } } \tanh \left( \sqrt { \frac { \mathrm { gk } } { \mathrm { m } } \mathrm { t } } \right)$ , where $\mathrm { k }$ is a constant that depends on the body's aerodynamic properties and the density of the air, $g$ is the gravitational constant, and $t$ is the number of seconds into the fall. Find the limiting velocity, $\lim _ { \mathrm { t } \rightarrow \infty }$ , of a 210 lb. skydiver $( \mathrm { mg } = 210 )$ when $\mathrm { k } = 0.006$ .

• A) 59.16 ft/sec
• B) 187.08 ft/sec
• C) There is no limiting speed.
• D) 0.01 ft/sec
