Problem 95

When an object falling from rest encounters air resistance proportional to the square of its velocity, the distance it falls (in meters) after \(t\) seconds is given by \(d(t)=\frac{m}{k} \ln [\cosh (\sqrt{\frac{k g}{m}} t)],\) where \(m\) is the mass of the object in kilograms, \(g=9.8 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}\) is the acceleration due to gravity, and \(k\) is a physical constant. a. A BASE jumper \((m=75 \mathrm{kg})\) leaps from a tall cliff and performs a ten-second delay (she free-falls for 10 s and then opens her chute). How far does she fall in \(10 \mathrm{s} ?\) Assume \(k=0.2\) b. How long does it take for her to fall the first \(100 \mathrm{m} ?\) The second 100 \(\mathrm{m} ?\) What is her average velocity over each of these intervals?
