When the parachute deploys it increases the persons air resistance to (temporaily) greater than the force of weight. This causes them to decellerate. As they decellerate resistance decreases again until once again it balances out. Terminal velocity is reduced to a safe level, and landing without injury is possible.

Estimate the constant rate of withdrawal (in m3 /s) from a 1375 ha reservoir in a month of 30 days during which the reservoir le

kap26 [50]

Answer:

Explanation:

1 ha = 10⁴ m²

1375 ha = 1375 x 10⁴ m² = 13.75 x 10⁶ m²

In flow in a month = .5 x 10⁶ x 30 m³ = 15 x 10⁶ m³

Net inflow after all loss = 18.5 - 9.5 - 2.5 cm = 6.5 cm = .065 m

Net inflow in volume = 13.75 x 10⁶ x .065 m³= .89375 x 10⁶ m³

Let Q be the withdrawal in m³

Q - 15 x 10⁶ - .89375 x 10⁶ = 13.75 x 10⁶ x .75 = 10.3125 x 10⁶

Q = 26.20 x 10⁶ m³

rate of withdrawal per second

= 26.20 x 10⁶ / 30 x 24 x 60 x 60

= 26.20 x 10⁶ / 2.592 x 10⁶

= 10.11 m³ / s
