ill look further into it , thank you so much for your time! ps - i did post this under advanced physics, but the moderator shifted it to introductory physics.

thanks, i understand the part about calculating the drag coeff for my chute. what i don't understand it , like i mentioned in my question, what do i do after calculating the drag force acting on the package? so i have the distance that my package will drop at, because of the plane's initial...

Hi, thanks for the reply. i will actually be dropping something from a UAV to a given target location. it is a package with a parachute attached to it which will open as soon as it is dropped. from the plane's sensors, i can get the altitude, speed, wind direction, wind speed. i will be taking...

hello, thanks for replying. this is not just a problem question, ill actually be dropping something from a UAV plane. the chute that i have is circular with a diameter of 1.6m. let's assume i have calculated the drag coeff of the chute. what would i do next? And also, to make an accurate drop, i...

hey, i actually have to write a code for dropping a package from a UAV( unmanned aerial vehicle) at a target location which is given to us. i will also be taking into account wind direction and speed, plane's altitude, plane's speed, to make the drop accurate. but like i said in my question, I...

Homework Statement:: so basically, i need to drop a package from a moving plane so that it lands at a given location. the package has a parachute attached to it which opens as soon as it is dropped from the plane. so i need to figure out how much distance before the drop location i need to...
