You bail out of the helicopter of Example 2 and immediately pull the ripcord of your parachute. Nowk = 1.6 in Eq, so your downward velocity satisfies the initial value problem

(with t in seconds and v in ft/sec). Use Euler’s method with a programmable calculator or computer to approximate the solution for 0 ≦ t ≦ 2, first with step size h = 0.01 and then with h = 0.005, rounding off approximate u-values to one decimal place. What percentage of the limiting velocity 20 ft/sec has been attained after 1 second? After 2 seconds?
