Question:
(a) Identify the forces acting on the skydiver. Describe each force as: (type of force) exerted on (object 1) by (object 2).
(b) Draw an FBD for the skydiver.
(c) Find the magnitude of the force on the skydiver due to the air.
(d) Identify the interaction partner for each force acting on the skydiver. For each interaction partner, describe it as (type of force) exerted on (object 1) by (object 2) and determine its magnitude and direction.
A skydiver, who weighs 650 N, is falling at a constant speed with his parachute open. Consider the apparatus that connects the parachute to the skydiver to be part of the parachute. The parachute pulls upward on the skydiver with a force of 620 N.
