According to a newspaper account, a paratrooper survived a training jump from 1200 ft when his parachute failed to open but provided some resistance by Happing unopened in the wind. Allegedly he hit the ground at 100 mi/h after falling for 8 s. Test the accuracy of this account. (Suggestion: Find ρ in Eq. by assuming a terminal velocity of 100 mi/h. Then calculate the time required to fall 1200 ft.)
