An 85 kg person is parachuting and experiencing a downward acceleration of 2.5 m/s2. The mass of the parachute is 4.8 kg.
What downward force is exerted by the person on the parachute?
>>What i am [was] thinking << ::
Well, i tried to solve it by using by using this method its wrong 'its online homework'
First, i assume that it should be Zero, since both are in the same system moving with the same accelaration, but it show wrong.
Then i try to solve by Total Force= Force of Gravity on the body + Force of Gravity on the Parachute + Force of Air (-) + Force of body on the parachute. and it did not help as well :( [the Air force is 655.54N as a correct answer]
Thank in advance for helping, i appreciate it.
