A man jumps out of a plane, wearing a parachute. The Man weighs 83 kg and the parachute weighs 4.3 kg. When deployed, the parachute is a circular cross section with radius 2.9 m. Assuming a drag coefficient of 0.8 and taking the density of air to be 1.2 kg/m³, calculate the steady speed at which he decends. Number m/s
