So say i have a velocity of 53 m/s, p = 1.22, Cd= 1.5, nd the area of my parachute is, i don't know 5 meters, th force of air resistance would be 12851.1? I don't know the unit of measure for it and i just want to make sure that my calculatio is right because thatrs a pretty huge number.

I was told i have till wednesday to do a project on physics I've never done before in class, this being a regular high school physics class. So i decided to figure out how a parachute affects free fall and the calculations and stuff to show this. So far I've found an Air Resistance formula...
