Jennifer, who has a mass of 96 kg, has jumped from a plane and is falling through the air at her terminal velocity, a speed of 50 m/s. The temperature of the air is 15 C. Recall that the density of air p(in kg/m^3) depends on temperature T(in C) according to p=353/ T+273. As Jennifer moves over a distance of 7.2 m through the air, calculate her area that faces the air. Assuming a drag coefficient of 0.94.
