2. The velocity v of a falling parachutist is given by

Where, g = 9.8 m/s .

a. For a parachutist with a drag coefficient c = 15 kg/s, compute the mass m so that the velocity is v = 35 m/s at t
= 9 s. Use the false- position method to determine m to a level of εs = 0.1%. Decide your own lower and upper
initial guesses.

2. The velocity v of a falling parachutist is given by

Where, g = 9.8 m/s .

b. Use bisection method to determine the drag coefficient needed so that an 80-kg parachutist has a velocity of
36 m/s after 4 s of free fall. Start with initial guesses of xl = 0.1 and xu = 0.2 and iterate until the approximate
relative error falls below 2%.

3. You are designing a spherical tank to hold water for a

small village in a developing country. The volume of liquid
it can hold can be computed as

where V = volume (cubic meter), h = depth of water in

tank (meter), and R = the tank radius (m)

If R = 3 m, to what depth must the tank be filled so that it

holds
30 cubic meters? Use both the bisection and the false-
position method to determine your answer. Determine the
approximate relative error after each iteration. Employ
initial guesses of 0 and R and stopping criterion of 0.10%.
